Studio Art, B.F.A.                                         

The B.F.A. degree is a professional degree for advanced students.  Students accepted into the B.F.A. are given more rigorous requirements within the major including advanced studios, aesthetics, and seminars. 

International education offers opportunities for enrichment studies abroad.  Internships, independent studies, seminars on campus and abroad, and visiting art exhibits afford opportunities to relate vocational and academic interests. 

Students are required to submit and pass a portfolio review prior to their senior year and be juried into a senior exhibit before graduation.
