Art, B.A.: Studio Art Concentration

Concentration in Studio Art
The Bachelor of Arts in Art with a concentration in studio art provides School of Art students with a liberal arts degree in art, offering a broader emphasis of visual arts and related studies than is provided through the Bachelor of Fine Arts. Studio art courses are carefully selected with faculty guidance and are designed to culminate in a capstone project that can take the form of a paper, project or exhibition. The capstone offers students an opportunity to synthesize their learning in a way that can provide greater understanding of the relationships between disciplines. The degree will provide students a more individualized program through the choice of elective courses for a minor from outside the major area discipline that complements the studio courses and is consistent with the university philosophy and policies for a liberal arts degree.
This concentration is a 120-hour program that can be completed in four years and requires 46 credit hours in studio art and art history, 9 interdisciplinary credit hours from the other areas of the Talkington College of Visual & Performing Arts (music, theatre arts, and/or dance), 18 credit hours in a minor area of study from outside the major area discipline that may also be interdisciplinary, and 44 to 54 credit hours of general education requirements as stipulated by the discipline area advisor and the Talkington College of Visual & Performing Arts.
The concentration in studio art requires sophomore-level proficiency in a foreign language. For further information on the foreign language requirement, visit the J.T. & Margaret Talkington College of Visual & Performing Arts page.
Communication Literacy Requirement: Art, B.A.
Communication Literacy Requirement. Texas Tech University’s Communication Literacy requirement signals the university’s awareness that in addition to the fundamental role that writing plays in enabling students to explore, develop, focus, and organize a message, other types of communication must also be taught as appropriate for a student’s discipline. Throughout each program of study, then, students must be given ample opportunity to develop their skills in forms of communication central to that program. Communication Literacy courses for the B.A. in Art include: ART 1302 , ART 2303 , ART 4101 or ARTH 4309 and one of the following choices: ARTH 3320 , ARTH 3333 , ARTH 3345 , ARTH 3350 , ARTH 3364 , ARTH 3366 , ARTH 4304 , ARTH 4307 , ARTH 4308 , ARTH 4309 , ARTH 4320 , ARTH 4335 , ARTH 4340 , ARTH 4389 .
