Bachelor of arts in art Studio Art Concentration

The Bachelor of Arts in Art with a concentration in studio art provides School of Art students with a liberal arts degree in art, offering a broader emphasis of visual arts and related studies than is provided through the Bachelor of Fine Arts. Studio art courses are carefully selected with faculty guidance and are designed to culminate in a capstone project that can take the form of a paper, project or exhibition. The capstone offers students an opportunity to synthesize their learning in a way that can provide greater understanding of the relationships between disciplines. 

Students choose from one of the minors listed below and practice aligning their artistic craft with professional development in that minor.
