Students interested in becoming a Studio or Art Education major are not required to submit a portfolio for acceptance into the department. Regular application to the college is all that is necessary. However, perspective students can request a portfolio review with a faculty member for evaluation. During the student's sophomore year their portfolio will be presented and reviewed as required for continuation in the program. Perspective students interested in applying for our talent based Vollmer Scholarship must submit a portfolio. (see Scholarship for further information.)

The studio art, art education, and art history majors are designed to challenge you, and to begin relating your Christian belief to your areas of study. You will study the best art of the past and the present in both art history and studio art courses. You will learn to make connections between what you are studying in your major and in your liberal arts courses and you will develop the ideas and the skills necessary for mature work as an artist, educator, or historian. In studio art there are eight areas to concentrate in: ceramics, drawing, graphic design, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and textiles. In the senior year of the studio major, you will produce and exhibit a body of work in your area(s) of concentration and prepare a portfolio and resue for further study or entry level career positions.
