What will I learn?

The Undergraduate Studio Art BA provides students with the tools to ambitiously engage historical and contemporary criteria for making art. Come work with our professional, dedicated, and innovative faculty in a city where you will have access to internationally renowned museums and galleries. The program includes historical, theoretical, and practical approaches to fine art. Students relate technical developments in various disciplines to aesthetic and conceptual developments, citing movements and trends that also coincided with broader art history. Through a capstone project and exhibition, students delve into a relevant topic and artistic process of their choice and analyze it through a specific socio-cultural lens.
