Majors in Art and Fine Arts
The majors in art and fine arts provide a sequence of courses through which the students learn to master the fundamentals of visual communication and various media and tools. Historical and contemporary aesthetic ideas, both western and non-western, are explored in the studio classes and in art history. With these skills the students are directed by the faculty in the search for form and personal discovery within their artistic discipline.
In the BA program the student majors in art with no concentration. In the BFA program the student majors in fine arts and chooses a concentration in ceramics, drawing, painting, photography, or sculpture, or a studio concentration combining two compatible disciplines. The BA and the BFA degree programs also offer teacher certification for K-12. The BFA in Graphic Design is primarily focused on electronic and digital media. The BFA in Figurative Studies is offered for those students wishing to pursue a concentrated, directed degree in figurative art making.
