Print Program Details

The goal of the art major is to combine rigorous traditional art studio experiences that inform students' hands with intellectually demanding academic coursework that educates their minds about our era's ideas, values, and individual perspectives. Through the study of a variety of art media, the incorporation of art historical information, and the effective presentation of student work, the art curriculum provides students with the opportunity to grow and prosper as artmakers.

By interacting with students from a wide range of disciplines in the Collegium of Integrated Learning, students in the art major confront the questions that shape their lives as citizens of the 21st century and are exposed to the remarkable array of perspectives that viewers will bring to the encounter with their work. The completion of the new Arts Complex has greatly expanded the physical and conceptual possibilities for art making and understanding at FGCU.
