The BA degree in Art is offered for students who seek a liberal arts education with a specific concentration in art studio. Whatever their media, our students experience the possibilities of what it means to create artwork that transforms the world in which they live. Studio art courses enable our students to cultivate and enhance their skills in communicating visually and provide students with strong critical and conceptual frameworks for art-making. Students are encouraged to create a unique artistic trajectory and to develop their drive for making art by engaging in multiple disciplines of the fine arts and design. Students gain hands-on experience as they learn to formulate an understanding of the principles and elements of artistic practice. They execute artworks by choosing media and technologies that support their ideas. Students learn to develop sound research and production values, analyze artwork, create professional portfolios and present their work orally and in writing. A concentration in Studio Art lets you explore and improve your artistic skills, from drawing to sculpture to 3D computer modeling.

A major in Art studio can lead to careers in museums and galleries, fine arts and crafts, commercial art, education, art therapy, media, photography, art sales, and fashion, textile, and interior design.
