The Art Department offers major programs in two areas: Art History and Studio Art. Both programs provide training in these disciplines within the framework of a liberal arts curriculum. It is assumed that further professional and scholarly developments will take place after the Bachelor of Arts degree, according to the needs and objectives of the individual student. The major in Art History requires 36 credits, plus a foreign language requirement. Transfer students who want credit toward the major in Art History must have taken courses equivalent to those required at Queens College. Requests for transfer credits will be evaluated by the department. The department offers a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art. Both prepare a student for creative or professional work in various media. The B.A. also provides part of the necessary background for the teacher of art in secondary schools. Students interested in the teaching of Studio Art in college should apply for the B.F.A. program and plan to attend graduate school in an approved Master of Fine Arts curriculum.
