The Bachelor of Fine Arts program's curriculum is structured to offer undergraduate-level professional training in visual arts, with focused studio art instruction. Students must complete at least 75 semester hours in art courses, including 36 upper-division credits. The art program aims to: offer a broad foundation exposing students to diverse artistic media and techniques, enable exploration of historical and contemporary art forms while examining art's societal role, provide engaging courses for non-art majors to broaden their artistic appreciation, and enrich 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 curriculum.
Graduates will achieve professional competency in visual arts for career preparation, master studio techniques while comprehending theoretical and historical contexts (as shown in their senior exhibitions), and develop advanced skills in their chosen specialization.
