Alvernia provides students multiple ways to develop as artists.  Students may focus on visual art as part of Alvernia’s innovative Creativity major, as part of the Digital Media Marketing major, and as a minor. These programs provide students with the foundation needed to perceive and uniquely express their knowledge about the world. The study of art prepares students for independent critical thinking and provides inspiration for personal creativity. Basic skills acquired relate to all areas of curriculum and professional endeavors, and art may be coupled well with other majors like communication, education, general studies, history, marketing, occupational therapy, or psychology.
