Program Description
In professional practice, highly creative fine artists work in fine- or commercial-art studios located in office buildings, warehouses, or lofts. Others work in private studios in their homes. Some artists share studio space, where they also may exhibit their work.
The Department of Fine Arts offers the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a Painting and Drawing concentration.
