presenting the proper historical and cultural background; and (4) to
assist students in their exploration of the spiritual nature of art as
an expression of their faith. The curriculum provides training in
studio arts or visual communication that prepares students to
pursue advanced study or begin work professionally.
Admission to the Major or Minor
Formal application for admission to a major or minor in art should
be made upon completion of the specified freshman drawing and
design course sequences (see below). In the case of a transfer
student with class status beyond the sophomore level, application
to the art major or art minor can be made after confirmation of
successful completion of equivalent drawing and design course
sequences. At the time of application the student must (1) desig-
nate her or his intention to pursue studies as an art major in either
studio arts or visual communication, or as an art minor in studio
arts; (2) submit a portfolio for review; and (3) must have a minimum
2.5 GPA in art courses. All studio art majors, as a condition of
graduation, are required to participate in a Senior Exhibition during
Spring Quarter of their senior year. All senior visual communication
majors, as a condition of graduation, are required to participate
during Spring Quarter of their senior year in the Visual Communica-
tion Portfolio Exhibition. Senior art majors must also, as a condition
of graduation, provide the Art Department with a comprehensive
photographic portfolio of work completed during their studies. The
slides will be retained by the Art Department as part of the depart-
ment slide library.
