Art majors at the Mount will discover a wealth of opportunities to explore and develop their artistic abilities. The newly renovated Dorothy Meyer Ziv Art & Design Building houses spacious studios with abundant natural light, wireless computer connect, late hours and the Studio San Giuseppe, an art gallery that welcomes students and visitors with engaging professional exhibitions that parallel the art and design programs, as well as faculty and student exhibits.
Students are encouraged to explore cooperative education work assignments in their concentrations. Year round, majors from all academic departments are eligible to study and/or intern abroad through an agreement with AIFS (American Institute for Foreign Study) and Richmond University, London. Students are also encouraged to participate in Service Learning, a reflective educational experience unique to the Mount in which students can earn academic credit for meaningful community service activities, like involvement with Working in Neighborhoods (WIN) or Habitat for Humanity.
Art is a great choice for a major if you are interested in graduate school or a career that combines art and a social science, such as psychology. See more choices at Pre-Professional Studies.
