Objectives:
Courses in fine arts are designed to:
1. Train students to produce works of art within the enduring representational tradition and to achieve an acceptable level of individual competency within at least one chosen medium of specialization;
2. Educate students within the Catholic liberal arts tradition, recognizing the ultimately interrelated nature of all knowledge and its ability to foster the mental and spiritual life of each individual;
3. Instill in each student a recognition that the process of education and artistic development is an ongoing, lifelong endeavor worth of setting future developmental goals; and
4. Provide students with an educational background sufficient for entry into graduate study or for entry-level employment in an art or art-related field.
Requirements - Minor:
The University offers a minor in fine arts with a requirement of 21 hours of credit, with a grade of "C" or better.
