Art Studio, B.A.


The Art Studio program promotes and encourages critical and visual innovation by immersing students in a diverse array of course offerings and studio specializations. Building upon the knowledge gained in our Foundations curriculum, students of this program will expand their knowledge base through the study of art historical and contemporary precedents, as well as the application of technical and conceptual skills in their creative practice. Following in the liberal arts tradition, art studio graduates will have the skills necessary to adapt and grow with our creative economy.
