Bachelor of Arts in Art - Integrated Visual Studies

The Integrated Visual Studies concentration is an ideal program for students to develop skills as makers and thinkers. By making work and interpreting images from visual art, photography, film, television, and commercial imagery, students learn to analyze visual communication from a variety of aesthetic, theoretical, scientific, economic, sociological and historical viewpoints. Students take a relatively equal ratio of studio and academic classes that foster critical awareness of how society is reflected and produced through visual means in the 21st century. Integrated Visual Studies students have the curricular flexibility to pursue interdisciplinary academic interests in combination with explorations in the theoretical and technical aspects of art making within a studio practice.

Potential Occupations
Students earning a B.A. with a major in Art develop a wide range of transferable communication, analytical, and critical-thinking skills. Participation in internships, cooperative education, service learning, and education abroad opportunities is highly recommended to enhance practical training and development. Depending on student interests, electives taken, or concentration selected, available career choices include academia, art museums, auction houses, historical societies, art appraiser, art director, exhibition designer, art critic, gallery director, art librarian, art restorer, art conservator, and art museum educator. Employers appreciate art majors for their multiple skills and the visual literacy that allows them to make sense of an image-saturated world.
