Areas of Emphasis and Areas of Concentration

The Bachelor of Arts in Art degree offers areas of concentration and areas of emphasis-each supervised by a specific faculty member. All Visual Art + Design students are required to take (at minimum) a series of four studio courses beyond the required foundation core within one area of emphasis (including Senior Projects).

Concentrations are more extensive studies in a specific area and are designed to give students the opportunity for greater depth and breadth of knowledge within one area of study. Requirements for individual concentrations are listed in the following pages of this catalog. Students should meet with the designated faculty member/s for advising and guidance within their area of interest.

Students are required to pass ART 2990 (Sophomore Review) prior to declaring an area of emphasis or concentration.
