Bachelor of Fine Arts in Integrated Studio Arts

The bachelor of fine arts in integrated studio arts is a
four-year degree of in-depth studio work with an emphasis on crossing conceptual and media boundaries.

The BFA degree is designed for students intending to
become professional artists and those planning to continue their studies in a graduate program in studio art.

 

The BFA may lead to careers in such areas as digital
media, medical or scientific illustration, illustration,
wood design, ceramics, jewelry and metals, fibers,
drawing, painting, printmaking, two- and three-dimensional mixed media, photography, and new
technological genres in combination with the
traditional fine arts.

 

This degree program includes a portfolio review at the end of the second year and a required seminar/

exhibition as a capstone experience in the final year. Interdisciplinary opportunities are encouraged, and independent study options -- where you can work one-on-one with a faculty member of your choice -- are available following the completion of regular sequenced course offerings. Taking part in a professional internship is another valuable opportunity.

The bachelor of arts in art and design is a four-year degree program with concentrations in art and culture, and art and design history and theory. Both concentrations provide the opportunity to study in a related or supporting area by means of a second major, minor or approved program. Many pursue this degree in conjunction with majors such as journalism, advertising, business, history or psychology.

 

In addition to these fields, some choose to pursue a minor in design studies with an emphasis in art criticism, art history, art sales or gallery/museum studies. All of the art and design department curricula provide a solid liberal arts educational experience that can be a springboard into a wide array of career opportunities.

Extracurricular art involvement allows for student
participation in clubs, such as the College of
Design Art Club (CODAC), student exhibitions,
workshops and events with regional, national and
international artists and designers.
