Bachelor of Fine Arts - Fine Arts

The BFA program provides intensive involvement in the Fine Arts, and greater interaction with the Fine Arts faculty, and visiting artists. It is suited to those who wish to pursue a professional career in the arts or prepare for specialized graduate study. Students with a desire to explore independent ideas in art, develop their portfolio, receive constructive feedback, and exhibit their work will find the program essential to their undergraduate experience.

Each semester, students in the BFA Program will have an opportunity to meet with several faculty in the department to discuss their work, coalesce ideas, provide critical feedback, and offer direction to the students.

The BFA degree culminates in a Thesis Exhibition held in Gallery 3. Students will spend their final semester working towards their exhibition with two faculty advisors. The exhibit provides an important opportunity to showcase more ambitious projects as well as the range of work completed while in the program. Installing the work in the gallery, and seeing it on display provides an essential learning experience that can provide new insight and feedback as well as the opportunity to document the work for graduate school applications and future exhibitions.

If there is interest in one of these tracks in addition to the degree, please let the recruiter know.
