Studio Art with a Concentration in General Fine Arts (B.F.A)

The BFA in Studio with a concentration in General Fine Arts (76 credits) is a professional degree accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). From painting and drawing, photography and printmaking, to sculpture and ceramics, the curriculum emphasizes the development of skills, concepts, and creative sensitivities essential to the professional artist. Students work closely with faculty to develop their expressive voice and expand their proficiency across media.

The degree culminates in a distinctive senior capstone program involving the creation of a series of original works produced by each Bachelor of Fine Arts degree candidate that will be displayed in our Sechrest Gallery.

Majors have 24-hour access to our various art studios during the four years of their degree.
