BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS

The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree is a professional studio degree. The BFA degree is earned after successful completion of an intensive, 4-4.5 year program that provides the student with a series of in-depth studio experiences leading to a thesis/senior presentation, and balanced by studies in humanities, mathematics, and sciences. The BFA degree may also serve as a preparation for graduate studies - usually the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree in studio art or design.
