Art Studies Careers |
| The B.A. curriculum is designed for students who seek a liberal arts
education with an emphasis in the visual arts. There is less emphasis
on studio and design studies than in the B.F.A. program, and the curriculum
is aimed primarily toward experience and understanding rather than professional
specialization or preparation for a career in art or design. Students
often combine general art studies with a minor in English, Biology,
Business or Advertising. |
