About the Program
The Art + Design Department offers two degree programs: Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts and the Bachelor of Arts in Art and Design with concentrations in Fine Art, Design and Art History. The B.A. in Fine Arts is currently under review. Prospective students are advised to visit Art and Design for information.
The B.A. in Fine Arts combines a generalist foundation with the opportunity to specialize in either Studio Art or Art History. The concentration in Studio Art allows students to create their own individualized program by taking courses in a wide variety of artistic disciplines. The concentration in Art History will provide students with a broad understanding of art from prehistory to the contemporary eras. Students in both programs will be well-prepared for many post-graduate opportunities.
Required Art History courses strengthen both the studio and design components by developing the student’s artistic vocabulary. Highly qualified faculty and small class sizes provide individualized instruction that fosters enrichment and artistic growth.
Minors are also offered in both Studio Art and Art History.
