Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts
The B.A. in Visual Arts is designed to allow the greatest flexibility in customizing the degree program to meet individual goals and interests. Students choose from a broad based interdisciplinary track or a focus in a particular medium. Course offerings emphasize the analysis and articulation of visual concepts and processes as they relate to a broader education in the humanities and sciences. The program encourages students to consider a double major to complement their artistic education with additional study in business, museum studies, psychology, humanities or other fine arts disciplines. It provides students the opportunity to cultivate their creativity while developing marketable skills to prepare students for advanced study in art, or professions in which an understanding of art, aesthetics, and visual design is important.
