The Studio Art BFA prepares students for a professional career in the visual arts. Studio art majors experience a shared core of art foundations, art history, and introductory studio courses. This core curriculum provides students with a fundamental understanding of the visual arts and lays the groundwork for deeper understanding, immersive learning, and specialization in studio art.

In addition to completion of the art core curriculum, BFA studio art majors pursue a studio concentration/track in either Ceramics, Painting, or Sculpture, while also further developing their creative and technical skills in a broad range of studio art electives across disciplines within the program.
