B.F.A. and B.A. Review Guidelines
B.F.A. in Art
The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree is geared toward students wishing to become professional studio artists. 72 credits of this program are comprised of art and art history courses. The remaining 48 credits are comprised of the university-wide general education program. After completing the art foundations curriculum, students choosing this program have the opportunity to take a selection of introductory studio courses in a wide range of disciplines, and will eventually focus on a one or two disciplines.
