College Course Descriptions.
The art curriculum is designed to foster creative ability
and the appreciation of art desirable in any full enlightened human
being. There are many opportunities for the competent, creative
artist, including careers as a professional artist, teacher of art,
craftsman, and designer. Some of these fields require advanced
training beyond the bachelor's degree.
Course Requirements

will organize and display a major exhibition of work. The senior

of the University.
