B.A. in Art
The B.A. in art is designed to offer students a degree in art that allows time for significant study in another discipline as well. This makes room for double majors and extensive study in the humanities, sciences,
or other degree programs. The B.A. degree gives students with varied interests in university study a sound footing in the visual, tactile and conceptual capabilities; historical and cultural knowledge; and theoretical and analytical basis for making art. Students may choose from a number of media areas within the division: painting, drawing, sculpture, print-making, photography, ceramics and digital/hybrid media.
Students may choose the B.A. degree in art upon the completion of six of the 12 hours of Foundations studies, adding one 1300-level course in art to complete their Foundations courses. Alternatively, they may begin the B.A. degree by taking
ASDR 1300 Introduction to Studio – Drawing I,
ASSC 1300 Introduction to Studio – Sculpture I and one other 1300-level course in art. The degree program requires foreign language, art history, a concentration in a single visual art discipline, the common educational experience and 24 hours of electives. A minor in the humanities or sciences is recommended for satisfying the electives requirement.
