Throughout human history, painting has played a vital role, from ancient cave art in France to the grand murals of European cathedrals. It has chronicled the ideals and ambitions of Western society, emerging as the foremost visual medium for cultural transformation, commentary, and artistic innovation. As a painting student, you're invited to contribute your unique perspective to this enduring tradition through visual storytelling.

Pursuing a studio art degree immerses you in the creative journey through coursework in art history, drawing, and digital media. While establishing this fundamental knowledge, you'll also engage in specialized painting classes that refine your technique and personal style.

The painting program offers three degree options: B.A., B.S., or B.F.A. The B.A. and B.S. programs focus on a broad liberal arts education, whereas the B.F.A. serves as the professional track. Consequently, the B.F.A. delivers an intensive studio experience that allows deep specialization in your chosen medium. Painting classes will help you perfect your craft while nurturing your artistic vision. For those seeking diverse career possibilities, you can combine painting with complementary majors or minors like Interactive Media, Music, Theater, or Women's and Gender Studies.
