Student Testimonials
I majored in Visual Communications, as well as Art Education during my time at Stockton College. I chose Stockton College to further my art education after touring the Arts and Sciences building. I liked that Stockton had many different new art studios to work in, including photography, painting, computer labs and a sculpture studio. Stockton also provides extra studio time to students outside of regular class time. In addition to the Arts program, the Education program at Stockton is very well known in New Jersey for producing highly skilled, qualified teachers. I heard great things about the professors who teach at Stockton, so I knew it was the right fit for me.
B.F.A. - Visual Communications Concentration
I chose Stockton because I was looking for a strong graphic design program, but also wanted an intimate class size. A mentor at my community college recommended Stockton, and I really liked the atmosphere of the campus after a tour. While attending Stockton all of my professors knew who I was, and where I was in their courses. At Stockton you'll never feel like you are being pushed through a program as a number or a statistic. I really value the relationships I built with my professors while I attended Stockton and still keep in contact with many of them today.
B.F.A. - Visual Communications Concentration
I was a Visual Arts major, and my concentration was on sculpture. Stockton was very highly recommended to me by some friends who had attended. I will admit that as a non-traditional (older) student, I was hesitant to begin my college career. But once I met my professors and began my classes, I knew I was in the right place! I’m so thankful for the time I got to spend with all of them.
B.F.A. - Sculpture Concentration
Accreditation
The Bachelor of Arts Degree (BA)
The Bachelor of Arts Degree (BA) is offered through the Visual Arts Program. While completing the Core Curriculum, students select a BA concentration in Art History, Interdisciplinary Visual Arts (VIBA), or Visual Arts K-12 Teacher Certification (EDVA).
Concentrations:
Interdisciplinary Studio Art (VIBA) is a general studio arts degree in the Visual Arts with flexible course selection. The one-semester capstone (Senior Project), offered each spring, culminates in a project portfolio.
Designed to provide structured opportunities for liberal arts students to develop individual artistic potential and knowledge.
Art History (VHIS) is the academic discipline that studies the history and development of the visual arts, including architecture, painting, photography, prints, sculpture, and other media.
A useful supporting field for students of the visual arts, history, literature, languages, psychology, philosophy, religion, and other disciplines.
The careers most directly related to Art History are in the curatorial, education, and administrative departments of art museums and galleries.
Art history majors have found employment in fields as varied as teaching, interior design, antiques, architecture, fashion, writing, editing, and publishing.
Visual Arts K-12 Teacher Certification (EDVA) is designed for those students seeking to earn a B.A. in Visual Arts with Teacher Certification.
Although the University requires a 2.00 cumulative G.P.A., a 3.0 cumulative GPA is the minimum requirement for NJDOE Certification. A grade of C or better is required in all ARTV courses and a B- or better in all professional education courses. (For a list of all education requirements, including Praxis Core and Praxis II tests, refer to the Teacher Education section of the Bulletin.) The student is responsible for ensuring that all graduation and teacher certification requirements are fully met. Students should consult with their designated preceptors in both ARTV and EDUC on a regular basis.

The Bachelor of Fine Art Degree (BFA)
The Bachelor of Fine Art Degree (BFA) is offered through the Visual Arts Program. While completing the Core Curriculum, students select a BFA concentration in Illustration, Photography, Studio Art, or Visual Communications (graphic design).
The BFA offers depth in a discipline, more intense studio experience, the knowledge and technical skill set fundamental to discipline, and preparation for a career in the visual arts. In the two-semester capstone (Senior Project I and II) courses, faculty work closely with individual students toward the acquisition of advanced problem-solving skills and a personal execution of theory and techniques. The BFA culminates in a Senior Project Thesis Exhibition in the Stockton Art Gallery.
Concentrations:
Student have an opportunity to focus on three areas of empahsis.
Painting (VPTG) has been around since Paleolithic times and continues to reinvent itself.
Technical skill is developed through realism, the representation of convincing forms in light and space, via proficient color-mixing and atmospheric perspective. Abstraction investigates the expressive potential of formal means, and the personal process of composing an image. Invention is developed in imaginative, conceptual and self-directed projects.
- Developing a personal, life-enriching vocation, though a career exhibiting and selling paintings (landscapes, abstractions, portraits, murals, etc.) is always possible.
- Problem-solving aspects involving imagination and experimentation, and project development and analysis are creative and critical thinking skills applicable to many occupations.
- Continue on to graduate school, pursue careers in teaching, illustration, graphic design, galleries and museums, arts management, and a variety of other fields.
Printmaking is about the creation of works of art using various multiple-image processes that usually involve ink on paper.
Printmaking techniques include intaglio, lithography, linocut, monotype, relief printing, and woodcut. Building on knowledge learned in drawing and two-dimensional design, printmaking students learn how to mix inks, work on a press, and about different types of paper, etc.
- Emphasizes the formulation of an individual artistic voice and involves students in a variety of techniques.
- Sets a solid foundation for nearly any arts area. Printmaking majors have gone on in a variety of careers, including teaching, graphic design, and arts management.
Sculpture is about the creation of art in three-dimensional space. While sculpture includes traditional techniques like modeling and carving, and traditional materials like clay and stone, it can also involve almost any process, and be almost anything.
- Sculpture is an excellent starting point for careers in special effects, animation, the toy design, industrial design, furniture design, interior design, architecture, landscape architecture, and commercial fabrication.
Photography is one of our concentrations in the BFA in General Studio Arts. It involves a wide range of issues and technologies related to photographic practice.
The photography concentration emphasizes the use camera based images (analog and digital), light sensitive materials and problem solving skills as an expression of ideas or concepts. Students work with both analog and digital image-making processes as a means of understanding the history and contemporary practice of the medium. The darkroom and the computer labs provide complementary tools for practical and creative problem solving.
- Prepares artists for nearly every aspect of the creative industries including opportunities with for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, news media, advertising, museums, galleries, and more.
- Career choices include graduate study; periodicals; large media producing companies; independent professional photographer; K-12 teaching (with certification) as well as college level teaching (with graduate study and professional record).
Visual Communications offers two areas of emphasis within its concentration.
Graphic Design is about the presentation of information through visual means.
The graphic design profession plans and creates the visual means to communicate a particular message to a particular audience and context. Graphic Designers design things people read, whether including words, signs, symbols, and imagery, or any combination of those which interprets, informs or persuades. Graphic Design utilizes typography, illustration, photography, and computer graphics.
- Acquire the technical, conceptual, and theoretical skills needed for entry-level positions in the field, for continued professional advancement, and for more specialized studies in graduate school.
- Stockton VCOM majors have gone on to careers in advertising and marketing agencies, design studios, in-house design departments in corporations and other institutions, publishing, and packaging.
Illustration is about the creation of images in order to tell a story. Illustration incorporates both representation and design.
- Bridges the disciplines of graphic design, painting, photography, and computer graphics.
- Draw attention, tell a story, and convey information with traditional and digital media.
- Illustrators often work as freelance entrepreneurs or utilize illustration approaches to imagery in combination with design and typography in advertising, publishing, and digital media.

Minors
The minors in Studio Art and Art History are designed to provide a coherent, formal, and officially recognized course of study in the Visual Arts for the non-art major, the student whose primary field lies elsewhere but who desires, out of personal interest or for career reasons, to pursue a cohesive program in art. Studio Art majors working toward either the BFA or B.A. degree may also elect to minor in Art History. The Visual Arts comprise a field of great relevance and enrichment to a variety of disciplines, including but not limited to communication, history, literature, education, theatrical studies, business studies, and the sciences.
A student must meet the University criteria, which include a minimum grade point average of 2.0 overall and must satisfy all of the course distribution requirements for the Visual Arts minors. A maximum of two transfer courses will be counted toward a Stockton Visual Arts minor.

Professor of Art History
BIOGRAPHY
Kate Nearpass Ogden has been at Stockton University since 1991, teaching the art history survey (Art History I and II) as well as specialized courses in American art, modern art, and the history of photography. Since 2003 she has occasionally taught a course, Art of New Jersey, in which students write essays for the website Art & Architecture of New Jersey.
Prof. Ogden's publications have focused on 19th century American painting and photography. Her book, Yosemite (2015) is a cultural history of a spectacular scenic location. It was preceded by a major essay, “California as Kingdom Come,” in the exhibition catalog Yosemite: Art of an American Icon (Los Angeles: Autry Museum of Western Heritage, 2006).
Other recent publications include two essays for the Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia (PhiladelphiaEncyclopedia.org): "Painters & Painting" and "The Peale Family of Artists."
Kate Ogden has chaired the Stockton University Art Gallery committee since 1991. She has occasionally curated exhibitions for the Art Gallery, including (most recently) "Tim Daly and Valeri Larko: Learning from New Jersey" (2012) and "Jacob Landau: The Holocaust Series and Other Prints" (2010). Her most ambitious curatorial project took place in 2008, when she curated and wrote a catalog for the exhibition "From Cape May to Cairo: The Work of George Washington Nicholson" (Oceanville, NJ: The Noyes Museum of Art, 2008).
Early in her career Prof. Ogden received Luce Foundation Fellowships (1988, 1989), a Virginia Steele Scott Fellowship (Huntington Library, San Marino, CA, Summer 1988), a Smithsonian Institution Short-Term Visit Award (1988), a Hilla von Rebay Guggenheim Museum Fellowship (1981), a Guggenheim Museum Curatorial Internship (1981), and a Smithsonian Institution Exhibition Internship (1980).
Grants and awards received while teaching at Stockton include two New Jersey Humanities Council Mini-Grants (2006, 2008), Stockton College Distinguished Faculty Fellowships (1993, 2004), a grant from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority of Atlantic City (2001), and a National Endowment for the Arts Grant (1995).
Prof. Ogden's community engagement has included numerous lectures for arts groups and cultural institutions in the region, serving as a guest juror for local art exhibitions, and occasional curatorial collaborations. She sponsors student internships at the Noyes Museum of Art and the Stockton University Art Gallery, and has involved her students in projects for her website Art & Architecture of New Jersey, for the Noyes Museum of Art, for Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society, and other local groups.
Prof. Ogden serves on the New Jersey State Review Board for Historic Preservation, the agency that recommends buildings for the State and National Registers; she is currently Vice-Chair of the board. In 2014 she was a member of the planning committee for the Vernacular Architecture Forum's Annual Conference "Down Jersey: From Bayshore to Seashore," for which she was project coordinator and photo editor of the conference guidebook to architecture in southern New Jersey. Prof. Ogden is also on the Board of Directors (now the Advisory Board) of The Noyes Museum of Art of Stockton University.
