Programs and Courses: Undergraduate Program
The UC Berkeley Department of Art offers an undergraduate program in studio art which provides a firm grounding in basic techniques and principles while encouraging guided experimentation.
Course offerings in painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture (ceramic and mixed media), video, performance art and digital media are available to majors as well as non-majors. Art Majors are expected to round out the required studio courses with Art History and Theory classes.
Students graduating with a major in art pursue careers as professional artists and teachers or in arts-related activities with museums, galleries, arts management, publishing, artists' organizations, etc.
