International direct admission to Louisiana State University (LSU) is available for international students with advanced English-language skills. The program focuses on academic, cultural, and professional growth to help students excel in school and prepare for a successful future.

As international direct students at LSU, they will receive exclusive and rigorous academic coursework, priority access to in-demand courses, guidance from academic advisors and mentors, career development opportunities, and the chance to take intensive classes with domestic students.

The LSU School of Art offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Studio Art with tracks in ceramics, painting & drawing, photography, printmaking, and sculpture. Each track includes courses in art history.

Students in these programs learn to work independently and collaboratively, develop a vocabulary for critiquing and discussing art, and become critical thinkers, creative problem solvers, and well-rounded communicators. Through coursework in various disciplines, students gain the skills and understanding needed to make their art and design practices relevant to historical and contemporary issues.

With a strong foundation in artistic, technical, and conceptual skills, students can pursue further study in graduate school or launch careers as independent studio artists or professional practitioners in various fields such as film, video, computer graphics, game design, web design, typography, and more.

The concentration in Graphic Design within the BFA program prepares students to become visual communicators, critical thinkers, and creative problem solvers in areas like typography, print and editorial design, information design, and branding.
