Bachelor of Arts programs
Two liberal arts programs provide broad preparation for careers in a variety of fields, including education, arts administration, and business. Because these programs require fewer total courses, they can be taken alongside other university majors and/or minors.
Art & Design BA: Introduction to processes of design thinking, critical discussion, and fundamentals of visual communication through hands-on studio and design courses.
Art History & Visual Studies BA: Critical and historical study of art and other visual media, approaching art objects and images with respect to the sociopolitical and cultural conditions of their making and reception.
