Visual Arts (BFA)
The Visual Arts program offers a perfect balance of academic study and studio work, immersing students in a critical and contemporary art education. Students acquire the foundation skills, techniques and theories to work in two and three dimensions in a variety of media such as drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, computer applications and video. Students work closely with professors and are given ample studio space and time. Art history courses, visiting artists' presentations, and participation in art exhibitions also form integral parts of the curriculum.
Electives
It is important that BFA students note the emphasis upon academic courses as well as on studio courses. For example, the Creative Studies department recommends any of the following to be taken in years two, three and four. Students are advised to consult with the department chair for advice on goal specific selections. Students must have six credits of electives at the 300 or 400 level to graduate.
