Distinct Academic Art Programs Create Professional Artists

Art

Through Capital’s Art program, students develop and enhance their creative capacities in art and design within the scope of a liberal arts education. Three distinct academic programs for the art major lead to a Bachelor of Arts degree — Art Therapy, Studio Art or Art Education. As an Art student, you will prepare your portfolio for participation in local and national artistic and scholarly opportunities. Graduates work in professional areas like teaching in public and private schools, working as professional studio artists, and serving as art therapists. Many have continued their education through graduate study in studio art, art history, art therapy, art education, and arts administration.
