Art Minor

The Art program at Saint Joseph’s University provides students with valuable problem-solving and technical hands-on skills and encourage students to think creatively, to take risks, and to be innovative. Studio classes are small, and students receive a great deal of one-on-one attention.

The program boasts three dedicated buildings that include a digital lab with high-end computers, printers and state-of-the-art software for graphic design and digital photography, painting, drawing, ceramics, and sculpture studios, a darkroom, shooting studio, a kiln house complete with electric, gas, and raku kilns, and classrooms.

Art students have many opportunities to exhibit their work on campus and to pursue internships that help secure jobs after graduation. Saint Joseph's University's proximity to Philadelphia allows studio classes to visit Philadelphia-area museums and galleries for field trips and on-location assignments.

Art students develop careers in a wide range of art-related areas, including advertising, gallery and museum curating, graphic design, pottery, interior design, fashion design, education, and architecture, among others.
