How is the Shepherd University program different from other liberal arts colleges?
The major difference is that we ask our freshman to take 12 credit hours (or four art classes) their first semester. Most liberal arts universities require only one or two art classes. Why is the program at Shepherd so different? The art faculty have observed that most freshman do not fully comprehend the amount of work, dedication, and time required to succeed as an art student. Students genuinely interested in being artists want more art.
