A Bachelor’s in art gives you a well-rounded liberal arts education, sharpens your perceptual and expressive skills, and prepares you to pursue your studio interests in a range of art-related vocations.
Express yourself through art
Self-expression is an innate aspect of being human. Art is one of the most beautiful and enduring means of doing just that. So, how do you want to express yourself? The aim of our art program is to prepare you in creative disciplines and to help you discover your own voice. Through the CUW community, you have the opportunity to explore a range of media, including drawing, graphic design, painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, ceramics, and fibers. In other words, we have a full range of creative possibilities open to you.
Our bachelor’s in art gives you a well-rounded liberal arts education, sharpens your perceptual and expressive skills, and prepares you to pursue your studio interests in a range of art-related vocations. Our goal is to prepare you in creative disciplines and to help you discover your own voice.
You will take 25 credits of required coursework to give you a firm foundation in drawing, color, design, art history, and aesthetics (the stuff that everyone who is serious about art needs to be aware of). Once completed, you get to choose what aspects of art to focus on. We’ve got a variety of art classes to choose from, and you have 15 credits worth of courses to fill before you complete your bachelor’s in art. Choose whatever 2D or 3D electives inspire you!
Add on a graduate degree
Earn an MBA (Master of Business Administration) with your bachelor's degree in our MBA Fast-Track program. In just five years, earn two college degrees. Enhance your skillsets and your value when you enter the workforce after college graduation. Plus, you will save on tuition when you take your first graduate business courses as an undergraduate.
Four $2500 scholarships are awarded each year to art majors and minors and are renewable for 4 years if the student maintains a 3.0 grade point average. These are competitive scholarships based upon a portfolio (physical or digital) containing 15-20 pieces. Scholarship applications may be made in early spring, and awards are announced in late March.
For more information, check out our Visual Arts Scholarship page on our website.
By the time you finish your bachelor’s in art, you will have refined your artistic skills, creating original designs, manipulating imagery, and applying design principles to visual communication.
As you develop your unique artistic style, you will have a clearer understanding of how your artistic talents make a difference in the world and how to use your bachelor’s degree in art.
You will have an opportunity to showcase your work with an exhibit in the Concordia University Wisconsin Art Gallery and to assemble a professional portfolio highlighting your best work.
