The University of La Verne’s Department of Art and Art History is committed to providing a rich environment of interdisciplinary learning, assistance, and exploration in which students develop a sound foundation of knowledge and wealth of experience in the visual arts. Each major gives a background in the fundamentals of the formal, technical, and theoretical concerns of the artist from both historical and contemporary perspectives.
Art studio courses, art history lectures and seminars, and the university gallery programs provide the context for the curricula in our two majors; Studio Art and Art History. Students majoring in art must complete the core requirements and those from his or her selected area of concentration: Studio Art, Photography, or Design.
Outcomes: professional artist, art graduate student, teacher.
