Overview

Program Details

As an artist or graphic designer, you’ll have the best background and raw material for your original ideas, allowing you to create anything out of your own curiosity and chosen media.

You can major or minor in studio art or graphic design, or choose the art education specialist program if you want to teach art in secondary schools on this Art degree from Augustana College.

Studio art majors focus in one of these six areas:

ceramics,

drawing,

painting,

photography,

sculpture or printmaking.

Some double-major in such areas as art history, multimedia journalism and mass communication, psychology, biology, education or business.

Key facts

A faculty advisor will work with you to integrate your experience, including art-related internships, toward future goals. That often means preparing for graduate school or a career in art administration or education, art therapy, medical illustration or museum work or with a design agency.

All throughout, you’ll work closely with professors and other students in small classes and studios. Building your own design rationale and style, you’ll complete a body of work to present in a senior exhibition, and for your portfolio for employers or graduate schools as proof of your versatile skills and creative thinking.
