Description
Curiosity, exploration, and self-directed research are the pillars of the student experience in the BFA in Art program.

The BFA in Art is housed in the School of Art and has a curriculum that fosters equitable and inclusive approaches to creation and community. By prioritizing student choice, the program bolsters students’ ability to express their unique point of view and adapt to the changing landscape of the contemporary art field.
