CURRICULUM

In the first year of study, students concentrate on formal 2-D and 3-D foundations in art, coupled with drawing, art history, math, science and the humanities. Building on this, second year students add digital imaging, 3-D animation, and/or video. In the third year, students are introduced to a hybrid approach to production and learn to focus a variety of media and methods towards a common goal. The students’ final year ends with a faculty-advised tutorial and project in which the ideas, method of investigation, and execution are determined by the student and culminates in a significant project and exhibition. Many students elect to minor or double major in Computer Science, Business, or Engineering. A few complete their masters degrees while simultaneously receiving their Bachelor of Arts.

The Bachelor of Arts curriculum organizes the courses into several categories: Freshman/Sophomore Humanities (8 courses), the Major Concentration (10 courses), upper-level Electives (9 courses), and the Secondary Concentration (5 courses). Additional requirements include 6 courses covering Mathematics, Science, Computer Science, and Economics or Psychology, and 6 semesters of Physical Education.
