Text from 2015-16 Catalog

The BA in Studio Art is a four-year liberal arts degree in studio art. The program provides an in-depth studio experience while allowing for a substantial number of non-art electives. It is designed for students who want to focus in art, but also have strong interest in disciplines outside the visual arts. Students may take up to 60 credits of studio courses (designated ART) toward the degree.
