Excellence in Art
The Department of Art at Union University has been ranked number one in the nation among visual arts programs at Christian colleges and universities by Online Christian Colleges. We offer a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and a Bachelor of Arts degree in painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, graphic design and photography. We also offer Bachelor of Arts degrees in Art Education (with certification for K-12) and Pre-professional Art Therapy. The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree prepares students for careers as studio art professionals and is preparatory for graduate studies in their studio emphasis. The Bachelor of Arts in Art degree prepares students for a wide variety of vocational opportunities in the liberal arts.
Our highest priority is to give every student a means and method by which they can effectively be in a personal relationship with God by serving the world through the visual arts. Our second priority is community. As soon as art students arrive on Union's campus, we want them to be enveloped in a group of caring, loving, passionate believers and art makers. These priorities are supported through the classroom instruction, facilities and equipment provided by the department.
