The Arts Program at Felician College provides students with the skills,
knowledge, and critical sensibility to effectively communicate their ideas
while enabling them to give voice to their own forms of personal expression.
Offering a variety of courses in Fine Art, Graphic Design, New Media, and Music,
this academic program emphasizes the teaching of technique in concert with the
critical study of different historical forms of cultural production, providing
a life-long reference of cultural understanding.
The Department of Art and Music offers a four-year Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)
with concentrations in both Graphic Design and the Fine Arts. A
concentration in New Media is presently under review. All courses are
open to both art majors and non-art majors. Students may wish to enhance
their career opportunities by choosing to double major in art and another
subject. Students may also take art or music as a minor for 18 credits.
The Arts Program features regular exhibitions of artwork, a junior visual
artist's portfolio review, a senior art exhibition, and the New York
Component, putting the art student in direct touch with one of the
liveliest art and culture centers in the world. This program element
includes instructor-led trips to New York museums and cultural centers
as well as interaction with New York artists, some of whom serve as faculty members. Art internships are also encouraged.
