Degree: Bachelor of Fine Arts
Required: 128 semester hours, to include at least 36 hours at or above the 300 course level
Available Concentrations and AOS Codes:

Design (including Ceramics & Photography), U111
Painting (including Drawing & Printmaking), U113

The BFA program allows a more intense concentration in studio work than is available in a BA program. This concentration is gained by extending the program for the equivalent of one summer session. Because of the number of required courses, junior transfers cannot expect to complete a BFA program in two years.
