B.A. in Art
The B.A. in Art provides the student with a broad experience in a variety of media. Students may combine a B.A. in Art with a certification in education. For students interested in a career in art therapy, the department offers a double major in art and psychology with an art therapy concentration in conjunction with the School of Psychology and Counseling (please see description of the double major below and under the School of Psychology and Counseling section for more details).
The B.A. in Art degree also offers students career flexibility, and can be combined with a certification in education, or a double major in art and business/ marketing for careers in advertising, marketing and design communications.
The Double Major in Art and Psychology with Art Therapy Concentration is designed to provide a strong preparatory base for graduate study in art therapy and meets the educational requirements for entry into Caldwell’s graduate program. Registration and practice as an art therapist requires master’s level preparation.
Qualified undergraduates in the double major with Art Therapy Concentration may also take advantage of the opportunity to pursue their M.A. in Counseling with Art Therapy Specialization in an accelerated manner through the Combined B.A./M.A. program.
