Description:

The Bachelor of Arts in Visual Art prepares artists, scholars, and educators for graduate work or careers in the visual arts. Majors explore the meaning, theory, and influence of art in visual and cultural contexts.

The BA degree offers the student a degree with a greater breadth of knowledge by giving the student the opportunity to minor in a field of study in other areas of the humanities, science, or business. The BA degree also requires four semesters (two years) of a foreign language, important not only for pursuing an art history career, but also for business and law degrees. Students who plan to pursue a graduate degree in Art History, Classical Archaeology, Religious Studies, Museum Studies, and Education benefit from a degree in Art History. The BA also provides a sound academic background for students who intend to pursue graduate or professional degrees such as law, business, marketing, and medicine where observation and critical thinking skills are a must.
