Luther College offers an art major and an art minor with emphasis possibilities in a variety of media—as well as art history. As part of the liberal arts tradition, the department serves a variety of students, from those who come to Luther committed to an art major to the many non-majors who take classes to broaden their educational experience at Luther and hone their visual thinking skills. All students are encouraged to build bridges between the arts and other disciplines. The art faculty also engages students in the ongoing conversation of the relevance of art in society.

The liberal arts perspective enriches and strengthens students' art, and helps sustain a lifelong artistic pursuit of creative problem-solving and individual expression.

Art Scholarships

A limited number of scholarships are available for prospective art students. The department reviews portfolios for scholarship awards once a year in the spring.

Please contact the Luther College Admissions Office (1-800-4 LUTHER) for more information or write to department head Jeff Dintaman for specifics regarding application procedures and portfolio requirements.
