Program Overview

The B.A. Studio Art degree provides for a creative studio art experience that pairs well with studies in other fields. Many students choose this curriculum because it provides credit hour flexibility for elective courses, greater ability to pursue double majors, minors and certificates, as well as off-campus study opportunities. The undergraduate program prepares students to work in fields related to art and to undertake graduate work. Classes include foundations and 2000-level studio art courses, art history courses, 3000- and 4000-level studio art courses, a variety of liberal arts courses, and two years of language study. Students who wish to pursue a B.A. in Studio Art should maintain a minimum accumulative GPA of 2.0 and a major GPA of 2.75 to successfully complete the degree.
