Program overview

What James Madison University says about their program:

The Art degrees offered by the School of Art, Design and Art History prepare students to pursue the professional production and exhibition of their own art or more in-depth study at the graduate school level.

The art major allows students to develop visual vocabulary, foster a deeper understanding of the formal visual relationships present in the art and design process, enhance their aesthetic awareness of art forms, and to promote the competency to independently seek further professional growth.
