Students who major in Art at Berea College enjoy the benefits of studying in small, individually focused classes. The average class size for a studio course is 8-10 students with a 9:1 student to faculty ratio. While enrolled in class, students are given their own space. They participate in a classroom environment where the student receives constant personal feedback from faculty and other students.
Student Labor
Outside class, students may also take part in several of the special programs designed for art majors. Apprenticeships and internships are also encouraged by the department. Students often pursue these during their summer break. View information on our Ceramic Apprenticeship Program.
