Bachelor of Art
B.A. in Studio Art
The BA degree is a general art degree that would most often be used by someone combing their creative skills with another field of study. BA Students take the same course of study as BFA students through the introductory studio courses. But unlike the BFA, this degree emphasizes a broad, basic understanding of Art. The BA requires fewer credits in art and no concentration. It also requires a minor area of study including a foreign language component.
B.A. in Art History
The BA in Art History, with courses ranging from Antiquity to the Contemporary era, is a good basis for graduate study in Art History and in other disciplines where training in liberal arts and critical thinking are valued, and for careers where knowledge of art, art history, and artistic principles are applied. Majors study four chronological periods in Western art, a non-Western art area, a foreign language, and a minor area, either academic or studio. An annual statewide Art History Forum features undergraduate student research projects. The BA in Art History is currently in the process of applying for the accreditation.
