Art & Design
The Department of Art & Design's focus is on developing students' aesthetic, conceptual, scholarly, and technical abilities within the Benedictine liberal arts tradition. Students are firmly rooted in the histories and theories of art making and design. Art and Graphic Design majors will be prepared for graduate school and/or successful careers in studio practice, art education, the visual arts, and related fields.
Basic information for all majors and minors in the department:
Each major and minor has a program designed to advance them in their career path. This is especially important for students with future plans for studying at the graduate level and those who plan to be practicing artists and/or designers.
A “C–” or better must be earned in each required course to count toward completion of the degree. The student must earn a minimum of 2.0 in the courses required in the major to graduate.
Transfer students pursuing a major or minor in the Department of Art & Design must take a minimum of 60% of the coursework required for the major or minor at Benedictine College.
