New Media Production Major

The major in New Media Production is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on designing and creating applications for interactive media, mobile platforms and the Internet for both commercial and artistic intent. See program details here.

Upon Entry into the Junior Year

Art students must submit a portfolio that includes pieces from each studio course taken at the University, as well as from any college or university from which UT has accepted credits. The portfolio is reviewed by no fewer than two faculty members. Unacceptable portfolios must be resubmitted no later than the end of the following semester.

All reviewed portfolios must be documented through the use of the departmental digital camera, and in the case of electronic media, appropriate high-resolution files, screen shots and digital documentation must be submitted.

Students majoring in art with a concentration in art history must submit a writing portfolio consisting of research papers and other written work completed in each art history class taken at The University of Tampa, as well as any from any college or university from which UT has accepted credits. Using specific recommendations made by the faculty reviewer, unacceptable portfolios must be edited and resubmitted no later than the end of the following semester.

Senior Project

As a part of ART 498 Senior Seminar students concentrating in studio art, digital arts or graphic design must prepare a senior exhibition in the Scarfone/Hartley Gallery that represents their strongest work. Students conduct all aspects of the show, including professional presentation of work, hanging, lighting, publicity and formal opening. In addition, a signed and dated personal artist’s statement concerning the student’s aesthetic theories must be presented with the exhibition.

Also through ART 498, students concentrating in art history must prepare a senior thesis paper based on research completed in a prior class, and take a short comprehensive exam tailored to their disciplinary strengths.
