Program Description
The Bachelor of Arts degree in Art is an undergraduate, liberal arts degree in visual arts, with emphasis areas in Studio Art, Digital Art & Design Media, and Art History. The program offers students a balanced curriculum of academic coursework, studio art and art history courses. Students select a minor or double major, which allows them to tailor their career interests and take advantage of Clemson’s unique strengths as a large research university.
First-year art students participate in a four-studio foundations program, which introduces them to 2-D, 3-D, and 4-D studio practices. Students utilize traditional and new media, and create a strong foundation of design understanding. Sophomore students select studio courses in four disciplines, which exposes them to a broad range of practice. In their junior year, students continue with two intermediate-level studios to narrow their focus and hone skills learned in the first two years. In their senior year, students select an advanced-level emphasis area course and refine their personal art concepts and projects. Students also pursue a complementary professional preparation course selected from art and art history internships, professional practice seminars, or one of the department’s signature Creative Inquiry projects.
