Bachelor of Fine Arts - Art - Studio

The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Studio is a four-year program that prepares students for successful careers as artists. It is the professional degree for an artist and provides the foundation for the master's program in studio art. While the B.F.A. program provides students with a broad overview of the fine art areas of ceramics, drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, interdisciplinary and new media art, it is designed to develop in-depth skills in one of these areas of the visual arts. The studio curriculum in the program emphasizes technical mastery, individuality, creative experimentation and prepares students for a variety of post-graduate pursuits. The curriculum also provides a thorough grounding in visual art thinking, contemporary art history and critical theory. The degree is designed for undergraduate students who want to combine intensive and innovative studio art practice with an outstanding education in the liberal arts.
