Edinboro

If i decide to go to [|Edinboro], I will already have 15 credits that I've accumulated over the past 3 years at Erie County Technical School.

The majors I'm interested in are Art history, Graphic Design, and Sociology.

__**Art History** __ The Bachelor of Arts in Art History is a four-year undergraduate degree program in the history and theory of art and art criticism. Courses examine painting, sculpture, architecture, decorative arts, environmental art, performance art, body art, film, and video. The program incorporates both traditional and more recent approaches to the study of art. Approaches include stylistic analysis, connoisseurship and iconography, as well as social history, interdisciplinary study, and deconstructive strategies. Students begin with broad overviews of Western and non-Western art and period courses in Classical, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, 18th, 19th and 20th century studies. More advanced classes focus on issues stimulated by ideological, gender, ethnic, and political perspectives. Courses also provide a background in art theory, criticism, and methodologies such as semiotics, feminism, deconstruction, and post- structuralism.

__**Graphic Design** __ Intermediate and advanced courses include the history of graphic design, typography, publication design, and systems and corporate identity. Book Arts and Illustration also complement the design core as electives. The computer is integrated as a design tool at all levels of instruction, providing students with valuable experience in many phases of the production of print media.

__**Sociology** __ Sociology is the scientific study of groups of humans. It is the study of collective human behavior and the social forces that influence collective human behavior. Sociologists seek to discover the broad patterns of interaction of social life that influence individual behaviors. In Sociology, you'll learn about how groups, organizations, and societies are structured. You'll study crime and violence, sex and gender, families, health and illness, work and leisure, ethnic relations, religions and cultures, social classes, and communities and cities. You'll study the rules that different groups of people have for living together, and the principles upon which groups of people are organized. You'll find out how these rules are created, how they are sustained, how they are broken, and how they give meaning to the lives of individuals.
