What will it take to graduate?

Mount Mercy College awards a Bachelor of Arts degree in art, with 31 credits required within the major, to graduate. Want to know what kind of classes you will be taking? See our suggested 4-year courses of study for Art Education, Fine Arts and Graphic Design.

By the end of the sophomore year you are required to have a portfolio review to check progress and be advised on continuing as an art major. Your portfolio will be the major consideration, but your grade point average in art courses and all courses will be reviewed.

You can also view course offerings and descriptions in the current college catalog (pdf). Please keep in mind that these are only representative of current offerings for the academic year. Classes can be added or changed as needed.
