The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Art Practices is a specialized studio art degree that allows students to take a greater number of courses within the Art & Art History Department. This program provides advanced studio study to a select group of highly motivated and talented students. BFA students may choose to concentrate in a single studio area or pursue an interdisciplinary focus, combining two or three studio disciplines. Admission is competitive and based on a rigorous portfolio review, academic record, and demonstrated motivation.Ìý
This degree is ideal for individuals who aspire to build a strong professional portfolio, pursue graduate studies, embark on a career in the arts, or teach at the college level.
