The student who declares an art major can earn the Bachelor of Arts degree or the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. The B.F.A. is strongly recommended for those students who plan to pursue graduate work in the visual arts or who intend to work as studio artists.

The studio areas offered are: drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, fiber media, and ceramics. Additionally, papermaking, watercolor, and special topics courses are available. The art major may concentrate in one studio area or work in several areas. For students majoring in other fields, our program offers a minor in Art History and Studio.
