Fine Arts

Bachelor of Fine Arts

You're serious about your art. Really serious. You're either making art or thinking about making art most of the time. Immerse yourself in our BFA in Fine Arts. You'll deepen your understanding of art, develop your technique, and find your own voice for artistic expression. We offer BFAs in drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, and woodworking and functional art.

Make a living AND make a difference.

The fine artist is consumed by a passion to create, to express, to connect to worlds both tangible and intangible. Critical thinkers and conceptual engineers, they convey their vision in two and three dimensions. Delighting us. Shocking us. Opening our minds with vivid new interpretations of what's real and what's surreal.

Working artists

Fine Arts majors become painters, sculptors, illustrators, printmakers, photographers, woodworkers, and functional artists. Their work is often sponsored by government private grants. Many Fine Arts students go on to our MFA program to pursue their passions further or to prepare for careers as college professors.
