Studio Art, Bachelor of Fine Arts
The Bachelor of fine arts (BFA) each requires a minimum of 120 credit hours of course work.
The BFA provides a more extensive, well-rounded, performance-oriented art background which prepares students for a professional life in fine arts and post graduate study. For the BFA, 72 of the required 120 credit hours are ART classes.
To be admitted to the BFA program, a student must have declared an applicable studio art concentration or K-12 certification and meet other eligibility requirements (see the Department website or a Art & Art History advisor for details).
NOTE: In order for BFA students to graduate in 120 total credit hours, the 6 hours used to fulfill the university diversity requirement must be courses which also fulfill university General Education distribution requirements.
