Within our intimate learning environment, the faculty members of the Department of Art and Design at Monmouth University work together to offer an innovative curriculum in Animation, Graphic and Interactive Design, Interactive Media, Photography, Studio Art, and Art History. We are committed to educating students who seek challenging and comprehensive studio experiences. While our coursework begins with a strong emphasis on foundational skills, we also believe that providing educational opportunities beyond the classroom is a rewarding experience for our students. With this goal in mind, all Art and Design students work on projects with community partners or complete an off-site internship in preparation for their careers. Many of our students gain noteworthy firsthand experiences during and after school, especially due to our proximity to New York City and Philadelphia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-in-page-link\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"#art-design-programs\">View All Programs<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"about-our-programs\">About Our Programs<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>We respond to current needs within visual communication fields by offering a competitive B.F.A. degree with concentrations in Animation or Graphic and Interactive Design.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-art-and-design\/programs-of-study\/ba-art-concentration-in-photography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>B.A. in Art with a concentration in Photography<\/strong><\/a> is a focused course of study in the aesthetic and technical aspects of fine and applied photographic practice, including an array of digital and film-based skills. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-art-and-design\/programs-of-study\/ba-art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>B.A. in Studio Art<\/strong><\/a> students complete coursework in painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, and sculpture, using both traditional as well as emerging technologies that include laser cutting, digital sculpting, and 3D printing. Professional practice, such as writing artist statements, CVs, and grants are built into the B.A. program. B.A. in Art students also have the option to complete up to 12 advanced credits of independent study in a specific area of their interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For students training to become teachers, we offer the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-curriculum-and-instruction\/programs-of-study\/ba-art-and-education-endorsement-in-k12-education-in-art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>B.A. in Art and Education with Endorsement in K-12 Education in Art<\/strong><\/a>.

Our specialized offerings for <strong>Minors<\/strong> include <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.monmouth.edu\/undergraduate-catalog\/wayne-d-mcmurray-humanities-social-sciences\/art-design\/animation-motion-design-minor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Animation\/Motion Design<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.monmouth.edu\/undergraduate-catalog\/wayne-d-mcmurray-humanities-social-sciences\/art-design\/art-history-minor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Art History<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.monmouth.edu\/undergraduate-catalog\/wayne-d-mcmurray-humanities-social-sciences\/art-design\/asian-studies-minor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Asian Studies<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.monmouth.edu\/undergraduate-catalog\/wayne-d-mcmurray-humanities-social-sciences\/art-design\/graphic-interactive-design-minor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Graphic and Interactive Design<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.monmouth.edu\/undergraduate-catalog\/wayne-d-mcmurray-humanities-social-sciences\/art-design\/interactive-media-minor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Interactive Media<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.monmouth.edu\/undergraduate-catalog\/wayne-d-mcmurray-humanities-social-sciences\/art-design\/photography-minor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Photography<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.monmouth.edu\/undergraduate-catalog\/wayne-d-mcmurray-humanities-social-sciences\/art-design\/art-minor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Studio Art<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The creative mindset of majoring in Art and Design lends itself to a variety of dynamic career paths. These include working as a fine artist, photographer, graphic designer, or animator, but also as an exhibition designer, art director, illustrator, UI\/UX designer, arts administrator, and much more. Recently our graduates have worked or interned for employers that include Apple, Bayer HealthCare, IKEA, MasterCard, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Nickelodeon, and the NFL with many of our alumni serving as intern site supervisors for our students. Other MU graduates have continued on to graduate school in art, design, or art history and museum studies, which opens additional doors in creative professions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\"
