Course Descriptions
Honor Societies and Student
Organizations:
Students may participate in several
student organizations: Art Student Association (ASA), Designer’s Ink, and
the Art Education Club. NOTA, the campus art and literary magazine,
welcomes students’ art entries.
From earliest times, human beings
have given meaning to life through artistic expression. In our
contemporary world, visual awareness and the communication of visual ideas
have become increasingly significant. The Department of Art & Design
responds to the needs of a visually-oriented world through instruction in
graphic design, studio art, art history, art education, and the exhibition
of art. The faculty’s role is augmented by a program of visiting artists
and designers who offer their viewpoints to students and the community at
large. The Foster Gallery in the Haas Fine Arts Center serves as the
showcase for well-known visiting artists as well as faculty and students.

ADMISSION TO ART & DESIGN LIBERAL ARTS PROGRAMS
All students desiring to be Liberal
Arts Art majors enter the department’s programs and courses as 36-credit
Art: Liberal Arts majors (Code 020-201). Students who wish to remain in
this major do not have to take the Foundations Review, but may do so as an
advisory procedure. All applicants for admission to the liberal arts
comprehensive majors must satisfactorily complete the Foundations Review
and be granted acceptance into the particular major and selected area of
emphasis. This includes the Comprehensive Major associated with the
Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree as well as
the Comprehensive Major associated with the Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.)
degree.
The Foundations Review is
administered once each semester by the Department of Art & Design.
Typically, a student takes the Foundations Review in the same semester in
which the student will complete the Art Foundations studio course sequence
(Art 107, 108, 109, 110). The review consists of students presenting a
prescribed portfolio of works produced in the four Art Foundations studio
courses. At the completion of the review, Art & Design faculty assign an
objective score to each applicant’s portfolio according to the competency
criteria defined by the Review Evaluation Form. These scores result in a
ranking of applicants. In certain areas of emphasis, competition for the
limited seats available in courses is high, and thus a quantitative
cut-off is imposed allowing only a finite number of students to be
approved for acceptance. This quantitative cut-off ensures timely
completion to degree for students.
The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree is
a nationally recognized degree with high standards for excellence in art
and design. Applicants for the B.F.A. degree must meet a higher standard
of competence and ability as adjudged by Department of Art & Design
faculty. Students seeking the B.F.A. degree must enter with and maintain a
3.00 GPA in Art and Art History courses to graduate in this degree
program.
TOP
PORTFOLIO REQUIREMENT
All art majors are required to develop a portfolio containing selected
examples of their work in order to participate in the various reviews.
These reviews are established to help advise and assess the development of
student work. The Foundations Review serves as the entrance procedure into
all liberal arts comprehensive degree programs.
