About the course

Art is a form of communication that reaches people in a visceral way that bypasses stereotypes and embraces humanity, making it possible to have open conversations about difficult issues. Our Bachelor of Fine Art program is a comprehensive, professional degree for the studio art major that brings together research, exploration, and experimentation. Students who are drawn to this major enjoy being challenged and are ready to grow beyond their comfort zone. They are independent and curious and have a passion for learning

　　As a student working towards your BFA in studio art, you will explore a variety of mediums and learn from experts in their craft. You will look back upon global art throughout the ages, different forms of visual communication, and its impact on society. Your studio experiences will help you gain the fundamental knowledge and mastery of process necessary to communicate meaning in a work of art. You?ll develop your own unique voice through interdisciplinary study, project implementation, and hands-on practice that combines technical and conceptual learning. Because of our 15 to 1 student to faculty ratio, you will receive individualized instruction in the classroom and the benefits of solid mentorship from our faculty.

　　The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree is considered the professional degree for the studio art major. Students in this degree complete four semesters of upper division coursework in their selected area of concentration as well as a variety of diverse studio experiences designed to provide both depth and breadth to their studio experience. Most, but not all, students seeking admission to MFA graduate programs select the more studio intensive Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. While the BFA degree requires more upper division art coursework and fewer upper division non-art elective credits it is still possible for students who plan accordingly to complete a non-art minor. Students can complete a BFA in any of ten different concentrations including: Drawing, Photo Image Making, Pottery, Metalsmithing, Electronic Art, Fibers, Graphic Design, Painting, Printmaking, and Sculpture. Consultation with an art adviser can help students determine their best course of study. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
