The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a major in Studio prepares students for careers as professional visual artists and is a platform from which they might go on to study for the Master of Fine Arts level, the terminal degree in the field.
The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a major in Studio offers three studio emphasis tracks: the Two-Dimensional Emphasis Track (including: drawing, graphic design, painting, and print media), the Three-Dimensional Emphasis Track (including: ceramics, fibers, jewelry and metals, sculpture, and wood and furniture design), and the Individualized Studio Emphasis Track (in which students are able to build a degree program to meet specialized individual needs).
Students interested in pursuing the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a major in Studio are initially admitted into the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Art/Studio and may transfer into the B.F.A.-Studio program at the end of the sophomore year by successfully completing the B.F.A. Sophomore Review.
