美术学士学位

艺术，传播与戏剧是一个充满活力和创新精神的创意团队，由该部门的5个计划组成（艺术，新闻，语言传播，数字媒体与电影和剧院）。我们专注于将理论和实践与实践经验学习，社区经验和跨学科参与相结合。我们邀请您来参加我们独特而又合作的计划。为希望探索专业并成为更完整的艺术家的学生提供美术学士学位，并提供多个重点课程，并提供替代课程来获得教学证书。对于所有艺术系学生来说，都设有相同的核心课程，尽管后来几年通常会更加僵化，让学生更沉迷于各个艺术领域。

The department provides instruction for students studying in the fields of art, print and online journalism, sports journalism, advertising-public relations, social media, live web streaming, radio/television and theatre. In addition, students interested in education can gain certification in act, speech and theatre arts. The department also offers specialization at the elementary level for speech. In Art, students learn the fundamentals of artistic expression in order that their developed individuality may lead them toward one of the many directions found in the field of art. The Ben Bailey Art Gallery allows the department to carry out an ambitious exhibition program that is part of the university's commitment to the promotion of culture in South Texas.
