Undergraduate Programs and Requirements

The Department of Art offers majors in fine arts leading to a bachelor of arts (if a language is taken) or a bachelor of science (no language requirement), and in graphic design leading to a bachelor of fine arts. The department also offers a minor in art and, in cooperation with the Music Division and the Department of Theatre and Dance, offers an interdisciplinary minor in the arts.

University Core Curriculum and General Education Requirements

See University Core Curriculum and General Education Requirements  in the Howard College of Arts and Sciences introductory pages for a list of required and applicable courses. For both the fine arts and graphic design majors, Art History (ART 381 , ART 382 , or ART 383 ) can apply towards both the general education and major requirements. However, students will still need to complete either MUSC 200  or THEA 200  to satisfy the general education fine arts requirement. For students pursuing a bachelor of science, there is no language requirement.
