About

Artists have an eye for beauty, a vision for creativity and a knack for originality and use these skills and others to create commercial or fine art pieces in various mediums. Art students at Valdosta State University build their portfolios while developing the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue careers in art-related fields or to continue their studies at the graduate level.

In the Bachelor of Arts program, students receive a liberal arts degree with a major in art and develop skills, knowledge and competency in the discipline. Students develop a broad base of knowledge in the visual arts and other areas, focus on historic and contemporary forms of art, and develop problem-solving skills in the area of art analysis. The coursework is flexible and many students choose a minor outside of art to complement their liberal arts studies. The program prepares students for entrepreneurial careers in the visual arts and for advanced degrees.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

Students entering the University directly from high school must maintain a GPA of 2.0 or better on all course work undertaken in order to continue as Theatre and Dance majors. If in any given semester a student's overall GPA falls below 2.0, the student will have one semester (fall or spring) to bring it back up to or above 2.0. If the overall GPA remains below 2.0 for two consecutive semesters, the student will be requested to change majors. Any student who fails to respond to that request will automatically be transferred to an undeclared major status. Students who enter the University as transfer students who wish to continue a major in Theatre or Dance must have a GPA of at least 2.0 on all course work undertaken. Upon acceptance as a major, a student must maintain an overall 2.0 GPA as described above.
