The BFA is a professional degree with concentrated areas of specialization, students will take more art courses than they would in a BA program. At UMass Dartmouth, students also have the advantages of a university education where they can diversify their studies and expand their career opportunities. 

As a teacher of art, students will be able to:

  • encourage reflection, compassion, and creativity
  • shape the visual and aesthetic experiences of your students
  • integrate the arts into the community: schools, healthcare facilities, neighborhoods, cities
