Art and Design

The Art Program at Alma College covers a wide range of visual disciplines. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the close student-faculty relationships and the excellent undergraduate studio facilities in the Clack Art Center to design programs suited to their own needs and those of their profession - or simply to explore art.

Two major programs are offered by the Art and Design Department. The Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) degree is a pre-professional program in studio art or design. The B.F.A. is offered in the areas of ceramics, drawing, graphic design, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture and three-dimensional design.

The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree program provides a more general study suitable for those wishing to teach in the public schools. Graduates of Alma's Art and Design programs find career opportunities in such fields as advertising, design, illustration, museum work, photography, printing and teaching.

Graduate Profile

Taylor Erwin

Taylor Erwin
Graduation: 2008
Major: Art, Business

Taylor Erwin started at Alma College majoring in business administration, but decided to add an art major in the middle of her junior year.

“I’ve always enjoyed art, designing and creating, and that’s when I decided just a business degree wasn’t enough for me,” the Fenton senior says. “I wanted to have more choices coming out of school and have the ability to pursue careers that I’d enjoy.”
