Using an interdisciplinary approach, students are encouraged to examine a broad range of visual, cultural, and critical studies. The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree is primarily intended to develop creative ability in the studio areas of drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and various combinations of these media.Courses range from an introduction to world art to more focused examinations of specific time periods, movements, and issues surrounding the visual arts.
