Studio Emphasis, Bachelor of Fine Arts
Within the Bachelor of Fine Arts: Studio Art, there are three areas of emphasis: 2-D, 3-D, and Photography. The Studio Art program equips students to meet an ever-changing and competitive field through a commitment to creative thinking and endeavor. The goal for students is that they become independent, creative thinkers, responsible to a wide audience and assertive in their own kind of expression. All students take foundation courses; intermediate students take intermediate level 2-D or 3-D courses. In sequential upper-level courses, students choose advanced courses in painting, illustration, graphic design, ceramics, or sculpture.
