These are tracks are based on a student's interest, but they are not recognized concentrations or majors. Students will receive a Bachelor of Arts; Major: Art; Concentration: Art Studio.

Majors with an Art Studio focus have the option to complete a group exhibition (fine arts areas) or portfolio review (digital animation and graphic design) requirement. Students emphasizing digital animation and graphic design may present a comprehensive portfolio as part of the coursework for their final 400-level course. All other art majors with an Art Studio focus may mount a senior group exhibition of their work. Contact the Department for details.

To fulfill upper-division elective studio requirements, a student may take two art studio courses at Alabama A&M. These courses must be selected from ARH 305, ARH 306, and ARH 307.
