About the course

The Bachelor of Fine Arts Program provides students with strong technical and critical thinking skills. Studios are taught by artist-teachers who are active professionals in one or more visual arts disciplines. Faculty provide a dynamic mixture of media, craft, and aesthetic viewpoints that expose students to various ideas and attitudes about art. In this context, art students are encouraged to develop their own innovative philosophies and approaches to art and a unique visual language. The BFA program requires a broad exposure to many media and techniques through introductory and advanced studios. Fine Arts students will complete a three-course track in one of these 6 areas: Ceramics, Drawing/Painting, Electronic Art, Photography, Printmaking, or Sculpture. Each track consists of 3 introductory-level classes taken prior to each student's first co-op in the spring of their third year. Transfer and transition students blend in as their transfer course histories are evaluated. In addition to the track courses, students will take ten studios in various disciplines. Studio practice is complemented by art historical and visual studies courses in survey and seminar formats and a series of theory-based courses covering avant-garde forms of expression from Modernism to the present.

　　Our curriculum focuses on the idea of photography as a necessary and foundational discipline for all artists and encourages both traditional and interdisciplinary approaches to the medium. Undergraduate courses in photography provide our students with a high level of technical skill, as well as an intensive studio and critique experience that, combined with the study of art history, broadens our students? understanding of current aesthetic issues. Introductory level classes in photography offer a wide range of both technical and aesthetic information. This includes contemporary digital image capture and printing, as well as traditional materials and processes (i.e., wet darkroom). Critiques focus not only on technique, but how photographic tools can be engaged to express ideas. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
