What Can I Do With a Major in…
Art? As an art major at Cedar Crest, you will select one of two “tracks.” The Studio Track allows you to focus on a specific art medium. The Integrated Art Track is a unique opportunity to work with faculty to self design your major and "integrate" with business, communication or even criminal justice. As a student-artist at Cedar Crest College, you will find yourself surrounded by a vibrantly creative and supportive community…and inspirational customized studio spaces in which to cultivate your talents. Each semester, you will create your own works side-by-side with professional faculty-artists, visiting artists, and other student-artists.
