The BA in Art with a concentration in Studio Art is a liberal arts degree that begins with our four-course Foundations curriculum. You will learn the fundamentals of 2D, 3D, 4D, and drawing, and go on to take intermediate and advanced classes that align with your interests. You can pursue an emphasis in any of our nine studio areas: drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, metals + jewelry, glass, sculpture, photography, or video art and new media, or chart an interdisciplinary course within the arts.

A BA with a concentration in Studio Art pairs well with additional major or minor because it requires just 49 credit hours. Many BA Studio Art students pursue additional studies in art history if they want to work in museums or galleries, psychology if they want to go to graduate school to study art therapy, chemistry if they want to work in art conservation or restoration, or business administration if they want to open their own studio or store.
