Degree Overview

The Bachelor of Fine Arts is the professional degree in art and design. The B.F.A. emphasizes creative production and facilitates students’ abilities to produce and implement visual communication strategies necessary for careers in visual arts and design. Students gain advanced technical, creative problem solving, and critique skills through intensive studio courses, as well as a thorough understanding of relevant history and theory. Additional requirements that distinguish the B.F.A. from the B.A. include two Studio Art courses. In collaboration with the Art and Art History department, B.F.A. students enroll in ART 1030 Drawing I and choose one additional introductory studio art course from illustration, painting, photography, printmaking, life drawing, or sculpture. Twelve course credits in Art/Design/Film/Digital Media History/Theory are also a requirement of the B.F.A. degree.

By the third semester, all B.F.A. majors must declare one of five areas of concentration and register for the appropriate courses for their chosen specialization. As a senior capstone, all B.F.A. students must take six credits of Senior Project (fall/spring) and a Portfolio and Professional Development course. The students’ Senior Projects are publicly displayed in the DMD Senior Exhibition, the culmination of the B.F.A. degree.
