Art, B.A.

The BA in Art is an academic liberal arts degree that serves as a foundation for careers that involve teaching art history, arts management, museums studies, art therapy, and art education. The degree allows students to combine art with complementary fields of study for a double major. Because the BA in art is non-professional, students are encouraged to pursue specific graduate degrees that strengthen their interests and specialization. Forty hours are required in art and art history, along with proficiency in a second language. Beyond broadening their knowledge of art making or art history, students are also encouraged to develop research, writing, and rhetorical skills.
