In the first year, you will take the Foundation program's core curriculum, along with required courses in art history and liberal arts, setting the foundation for your artistic journey. In the second year, you will continue with your required art history and general education coursework while taking more focused courses in your chosen area of emphasis, such as painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, or integrated practices, allowing you to specialize and hone your skills. Additionally, you will attend departmental sessions that explore social, historical, and critical issues in contemporary art, providing a well-rounded artistic education.

You may also pursue elective credits to take courses of your choice, pursue a minor in a second field or discipline, or gain internship experience, allowing you to further explore your artistic interests. In the third year, you will focus on developing a self-directed body of work for your thesis exhibition in the sixth semester. Departmental courses in professional practice will guide you in preparing your portfolio and making a realistic plan for sustaining your career after graduation by approaching funders, galleries, residency opportunities, and employers, empowering you to achieve your artistic goals.
