Majors and Concentrations
The Department of Visual Art offers majors leading to a B.A. in studio art, and art history and a B.S. in art education. The majors provide a strong curriculum and thorough training in the arts within the framework of a liberal arts education and with a commitment to a Christian world view. Our goals are to foster excellence in the arts and to serve God and society through the use and development of creative gifts. The three majors have all been accredited by the National Assocation of Art and Design (NASAD). The department sponsors a complete exhibition calendar as well as annual lectures that are attended by the Messiah community and residents of the Harrisburg Area. The department takes advantage of the close proximity to several large metropolitan areas and takes department wide semi annual trips to the museums in New York and other cities.
