The Art Department offers two baccalaureate degrees: B.S.E. in Art Education, B.A. in Art History, and B.S. in Graphic Design. The art education program guides prospective teachers to meet general education requirements, to develop skills in three studio clusters with a concentration in one area, and to provide a rich foundation in studio art production skills, art history, aesthetics, criticism, theory and practice of art education. Upon satisfactory completion of the program, the graduate is qualified to teach in the elementary and secondary schools. Graduating students must successfully complete the Praxis examinations both in general studies and their area of specialization to be certified to teach in Pennsylvania.

Incoming freshman and transfer students must successfully complete an interview and portfolio review conducted by art faculty. Portfolios must be submitted under the Art Department guidelines (see Art Dept. web page). Deadlines are: Fall admittance prior to April 30th; Spring admittance prior to November 15th.
