Fine Arts Major

Drawing, Interdisciplinary, Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture

The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in fine arts prepares students for professional careers in the visual arts by developing their conceptual understanding, technical competency, and independent problem solving at a professional entry level in their chosen specialization. Through the study of art history and studio critiques, students learn to analyze and evaluate visual art and employ this knowledge in their own creative practice. Graduating students must demonstrate their competence by producing a body of work for evaluation presented in their senior project exhibition.

Minimum 12 credit hours must be taken in one concentration selected from the disciplines of drawing, painting, printmaking or sculpture, or the interdisciplinary concentrations. Students selecting an interdisciplinary concentration must complete nine hours each of two selected disciplines--painting and drawing, printmaking and painting, sculpture and painting, drawing and printmaking, sculpture and drawing, or printmaking and sculpture--plus nine other hours chosen as desired.
