Visual and Performing Arts

Visual arts covers everything from painting and photography to figure-drawing, modeling, sculpture and even anime. Emphasis is also placed on art history and theory.

There are dozens of careers a visual arts major can enter into. Here are just a few of the professions:

• Cartoonist
• Museum Director
• Courtroom Sketch Artist
• Cinematographer
• Curator
• Acting
• Photographer
• Painter
• Fashion Designer
• Gallery Director
• Set Designer
• Special Effects Consultant
• Furniture Designer
• Art Gallery Owner
• Sculpter

To excel in any of these careers, students will need to minor in specialties or take additional classes in those specificities. Sometimes a graduate degree is also required. For most of these career choices, excessive math and science courses are not a typical requirement. This degree is very hands-on and project-based.
