The Department of Art provides a sequence of foundation and advanced-level courses directed toward the development of the student’s creative and expressive abilities. Degrees offered are the Bachelor of Fine Arts-Studio, Bachelor of Arts-Art/Studio, Bachelor of Arts-Art/History, and Bachelor of Science in Education-Art Education.

Students pursuing studio or art education degrees are initially admitted into the department through the Entrance Portfolio Review. Art history majors are not required to submit a portfolio. Students interested in pursuing the Bachelor of Fine Arts-Studio degree are initially admitted into the Bachelor of Arts-Art/Studio degree and may transfer into the B.F.A.-Studio program at the end of the sophomore year by successfully completing the B.F.A. Sophomore Review.

The Bachelor of Fine Arts-Studio degree prepares students for careers as professional visual artists and is a platform from which they might go on to study for the Master of Fine Arts level, the terminal degree in the field. The Bachelor of Fine Arts-Studio degree offers three studio emphasis tracks: the Two-Dimensional Emphasis Track (including: drawing, graphic design, painting, and printmaking), the Three-Dimensional Emphasis Track (including: ceramics, fibers, metals, sculpture, and wood and furniture design), and the Individualized Studio Emphasis Track (in which students are able to build a degree program to meet specialized individual needs).

The Bachelor of Arts-Art/Studio offers students a broad range of advanced studio options.

The mission of the Bachelor of Arts-Art/History degree is to provide art history majors with a solid foundation in the history of art, from ancient through modern times. The degree prepares students for graduate study leading to careers in museums, galleries, fine art libraries, visual resources, teaching, and research. Specific goals, objectives, and competencies related to this degree include the acquisition and demonstration of critical thinking, research, and writing skills; knowledge of terminology, methodology, and competency with various approaches to art historical inquiry; and the ability to conduct art history research through independent investigations.

The Bachelor of Science in Education-Art Education degree is a professional degree program leading to certification to teach K-12 art in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The program reflects contemporary theory and practice in art studio, art history, criticism, aesthetics, culture, and pedagogy. The program complies with all Pennsylvania standards needed for certification to teach art in the commonwealth.

All art majors are obligated to fulfill the university requirement for Liberal Studies coursework. Art Education majors must achieve and maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA. Bachelor of Fine Arts-Studio majors must achieve a 2.5 cumulative GPA and earn a grade of C or better in all ART and ARHI courses to graduate.

An Art Minor is available to interested majors from other university disciplines. The Art Minor consists of at least 18 credits in art courses approved by the Art Department chairperson.

The College of Fine Arts and the Department of Art have established an exchange program with the National Art Academies of Slovenia and Croatia. Qualified and highly skilled juniors and seniors may participate in the exchange by application to the Art Department exchange coordinator and with approval of their major studio professor, the Department of Art chair, and the College of Fine Arts exchange coordinator.

Detailed information regarding application to one of the degree programs and scheduling a Portfolio Review can be obtained by calling the Department of Art office at 724-357-2530 or by e-mail through the Department of Art website at www.iup.edu/art.
