Art students at USU enjoy a vast array of opportunities. Every specialization includes rigorous coursework that fosters personal artistic expression while building a strong grounding in historical art traditions. Faculty members are both accomplished artists and skilled educators, committed to providing personalized guidance. The Art Department maintains selective admissions through portfolio review, ensuring smaller class sizes for more one-on-one instruction. Students can showcase their work through faculty-guided group and individual exhibitions.
With the most study abroad offerings on campus, the Art Department enables students to learn annually in global destinations like Switzerland, Korea, Scotland, and Germany. The program also regularly welcomes guest artists from around the nation and internationally.
The BFA represents a professional qualification demanding exceptional artistic achievement, requiring admission to a specific concentration. BS candidates pursue a broader art education without specialization, while BA students must additionally demonstrate foreign language competency.
