Our vibrant program is further enriched by Haverford?s liberal arts environment; our studios and classrooms are colored by the diverse academic experiences our students possess and by campus-wide programming that brings art into dialogue with an array of other subjects.

Majors and minors build a strong foundation in a range of disciplines then move on to focus on one area. With each semester, they deepen their understanding of their chosen medium and create an increasingly refined body of work.

The major culminates with all seniors preparing a senior thesis exhibition. Senior Departmental Studies, our two-semester course, takes majors through the process of developing, selecting, and preparing a body of work to exhibit. As part of the course, students also install their pieces, produce a written statement that articulates the content and context of their work, and present their work to a general audience as well as to departmental faculty.
