Becoming an Art Major or Minor
Students may declare an art major at any time on Elroy or at the Registrar's office. Afterwards, notify the art department office (706.667.4888) and you will be assigned a full-time art professor as an advisor. Your advisor will consult with you every semester to assist in class selection, future planning, and Portfolio Review preparation. All art majors participate in Portfolio Review, successful completion of which results in admission to Senior Exhibition, the capstone course for all art majors. As part of the capstone course, all majors will present a public exhibition of their work.
