Bachelor's Degree
The Bachelor of Arts (BA) program caters to students seeking a comprehensive liberal arts education with a focus on art. Compared to the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in studio art, the BA program includes more general education requirements and fewer studio classes. Students following this track complete 45 credit hours in studio art and art history studies. The curriculum covers diverse artistic mediums, with approximately one-third of the degree consisting of art-related coursework. Many opt for the BA to combine it with a second major, as this degree offers the flexibility to explore varied interests, career options, and even includes opportunities for semester-long international study programs.
