Bachelor of Arts or Science or Fine Arts - Art

Art students will learn to think critically, communicate clearly, and work creatively. With studio practice and interdisciplinary work students will develop an understanding of materials and tools, technical skills, strategies of experimentation, as well as fluency in visual languages and articulating meaning.

The art curriculum includes core art foundation courses, art history, and studio art in art and technology, ceramics, fibers, jewelry and metalsmithing, painting and drawing, photography, printmaking, and sculpture. While all art majors share the basic requirements, students have the flexibility to pursue advanced course work in the areas of their primary interests.

The bachelor of fine arts (BFA) degree offers a studio-intensive opportunity to concentrate their expertise. In the BFA program, students will create an individual approach to making and thinking through advanced studio, interdisciplinary critique colloquia, history of art and architecture courses, seminars in art theory and criticism, and develop a body of work culminating in the BFA creative project in their declared concentration.
