About Bachelor of Fine Arts - Art
Program Description
Designed for individuals who plan a career in the world of art, the Bachelor of Fine Arts offers an intensive program that combines conservatory training in the traditional studio arts with a liberal arts education. This 120-credit program is intended for students who wish to become professional artists and/or pursue graduate study in the visual arts.
Art major students will study with professional artists and leading scholars, as well as visiting guest artists from around the world. Students will build a solid foundation in drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture and printmaking, while exploring the history and theory of human creativity in courses that range from the arts of the ancient Near East and the Mediterranean to contemporary photography and digital design. Art Foundations are required of all freshmen in the program, where concepts and practices in two- and three-dimensional art forms are examined. A junior student will choose one or more of the studio arts as their concentration; a senior student will work with a faculty advisor in preparing a B.F.A. exhibition of works in their chosen art media.
A digital technology lab; painting, sculpture, and ceramic studios; galleries to showcase student work; and the Steinberg Museum of Art are a few of the many resources at students' fingertips. These facilities are complemented by one of the finest undergraduate academic libraries in the region with holdings that include important art collections.
