Add or Change Your Major
How to enter the Department of Art from another YSU program
If you’re already a student in another YSU program and want to add or switch to a major in the Department of Art, we’ll help you figure out how to enter one of our majors.
"The sudden gratitude, excitement, and liveliness I felt after I decided to pursue art—something I had been interested in since childhood—has created memories that I will cherish forever. Leaving high school, I was apprehensive about pursuing art and worried for my future, so I chose a major I was not entirely fit for. However, changing my course of study and entering the Department of Art at Youngstown State has opened my eyes to inspiring and caring professors, the tight-knit Youngstown arts community, gallery shows and exhibition opportunities, and even a job at the McDonough Museum right on campus. I finally feel at home and am ecstatic to be pursuing my one true passion with my lifelong dreams coming to life right before my eyes — even after just one year in the department!"
