Bachelors of Arts & Science

If you want a more general education in studio art, we offer both a Bachelors of Arts (BA) and a Bachelors of Science (BS) degree. The University Studies courses for BA degrees focus on the arts and humanities and the BS on math and science. The BA and BS Art/Studio Art Tracks offer you a strong general education with a range of skills in a variety of studio areas as well as two advanced classes in one. As a senior, you will have a group exhibition. Learn about the specifics of this degree track here: BA/BS Art/Studio Art Track
