BA in Art in Pullman United States | Washington State University

Both programs provide classes and practical creative experiences designed to push you to think and express yourself across disciplines in fresh ways. You'll cultivate your unique perspective through exploration and self-assessment while gaining the assurance and abilities to communicate effectively in diverse situations. The Bachelor of Arts in Art degree allows for adaptable interdisciplinary combinations within a comprehensive liberal arts education. Two focus areas are offered:
Studio and Art History: equips you with the tools to thoughtfully and creatively interact with art and visual culture.
In the studio track, you'll choose a concentration area while also establishing a strong foundation in art history, critique, and modern theory.
The art history concentration provides wide-ranging exposure to visual arts, starting with introductory survey courses and fundamental studio practice, then progressing to specialized courses examining particular cultures and historical eras. You'll develop an understanding of contextual factors surrounding art creation and appreciation while honing research and writing skills essential for analyzing art and visual culture.
Both tracks culminate in a thesis project, complement dual majors effectively, and can be combined with any WSU academic minor. All students must fulfill UCORE general education requirements.
