Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art (Illustration)

With respect to the BFA Studio Art program, students can select from two tracks, one in Fine Arts and one in Illustration. Students in the Fine Arts track must complete a concentration in a specific area. Choices include Ceramics, Drawing, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, Sculpture, Art Education, and Interdisciplinary. Students taking the Art Education track typically pursue the Master of Art Teaching (MAT) in Art. Students in the Illustration track select from courses in traditional media, digital media, and 3-D modeling, as well as elective study in various courses that relate to their interests.

BFA studies also focus on the latest developments in art theory, criticism, and art history. Students are introduced to various media through intensive, hands-on classroom experience in well-equipped studio facilities. Through discussions and critiques, students advance from foundation studies to specialize in a medium of their choice. In addition, students use the numerous work-study, assistantship, and study-abroad programs to gain valuable practical experience. Graduates of the program have been accepted into well-known MFA programs. Students often go on to become K-12 teachers, college professors, gallery workers, illustrators, animators, motion graphic artists, and self-employed artists, to name a few.
