The Fine Arts major is designed to provide a strong foundation in the study of the visual arts and music within a liberal arts education. The course requirements for the Fine Arts major provide a focused path of study in one of three emphasis areas: Art History, Studio Art, or Music. The emphasis requirements also provide students with theopportunity to partake of the interdisciplinary nature of the Fine Arts program. Fine Arts emphasis courses provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the language, historical context and influence, cultural importance, and creative potential of art and music. <br> <br>
In addition to the course requirements, all Fine Arts majors are required to complete the Senior Seminar, a Senior Thesis Project, and a Senior Comprehensive Examination.
