The Fine Arts Department offers a major, a minor, and an interdisciplinary major in each of three areas: art history, fine arts, and visual arts. Students interested in visual arts may pursue concentrations in photography or studio arts. Students interested in performing arts may pursue concentrations in music or theatre (within the area of fine arts). Internships are available throughout the department. Students seeking internships should contact a faculty director in the semester prior to the internship.

The department offers an optional senior project course for majors; this is the equivalent of an honors thesis in other humanities departments. Students interested in undertaking a senior project must consult with faculty in the appropriate discipline during their junior year to develop their proposed projects. Students present their proposals to the fine arts faculty for approval during the spring semester of their junior year. Students register for credit in the first semester of their senior year and work on the project continues over both semesters of the senior year.

For students double-majoring in an area in fine arts and an allied major, the department allows departmentally-approved courses to "cross-count" for both majors so long as both department chairs agree. Students interested in double-majoring should consult both departments early in their career.

1. Music students take MU201, MU203, and nine upper-division courses. A minimum of six additional courses in applied music (two lower- and four upper-division), six in ensembles (two lower- and four upper-division), and four semesters of ear training are also required. After declaring the music major, students are required to enroll in an ensemble and an applied music course each semester they attend Loyola.
2. Music students choose a particular area of concentration: an instrument, voice, theory/composition, or music history. All students are admitted to upper-level applied and ensemble courses through the music jury process.

Those concentrating on an instrument usually take one-hour lessons (MU219 or MU319). Those concentrating in theory, composition, or music history are required to take half-hour lessons at the minimum (MU218 or MU318). Students who enter the program after freshman year may be given credit for lower division applied music at the discretion of the department chair, usually after an audition. Students who wish to complete a degree in music education should consult with music faculty to discuss course requirements.

3. Fine arts minors with a music focus take two lower- and four upper-division courses, as well as four semesters of applied music (two lower- and two upper-division), ensembles (two lower- and two upper-division), and two semesters of ear training.
4. The following courses are taken in addition to the regular five-course load since they are not three-credit courses: ear training (MU101, MU102, MU103, MU104); applied music (MU218, MU219, MU318, MU319); and ensembles (MU200, MU211, MU220, MU230, MU300, MU311, MU320, MU330). Students should register for these courses during the regular registration period. Ensemble requirements are satisfied by taking Chorale, Chamber Ensemble, or Jazz Ensemble. Two semesters of Classical Guitar Ensemble may be substituted for the lower division ensemble requirements.
5. A fee is charged for all Applied Music courses which is paid directly to the instructor at the first lesson. A semester jury is required of all Applied Music students beginning with their second semester of Applied Music study.

6. Students who wish to enter Loyola as a fine arts major concentrating in music should submit a clearly marked audition tape or call the department to arrange an audition.
7. Students must complete the diversity requirement through a designated diversity core, major, or elective course (see Diversity Requirement under Curriculum and Policies).
