The Bachelor of Fine Arts program's curriculum aims to deliver professional training in visual arts at the undergraduate level, focusing on intensive studio art practice. Students must complete at least 75 credit hours in art courses, with a minimum of 36 upper-level credits. The art program serves multiple objectives: offering a broad foundation that exposes students to diverse artistic mediums, studio methods, and teaching; enabling exploration of historical and contemporary art forms while examining art's societal role; providing courses to broaden non-majors' artistic knowledge and appreciation; and enriching campus and community culture through high-quality exhibitions at Weil Gallery. The department offers both BA and BFA degree paths, with BFA students having elective options to specialize in Printmaking, Painting, Sculpture, Ceramics, Photography, Drawing, or Art History beyond the core requirements.
Graduates will achieve professional competency in visual arts, master studio techniques, comprehend theoretical and historical frameworks as shown in their senior exhibitions, and develop specialized skills in their chosen concentration area.
