BA/BS in Fine and Studio Arts

The Studio Arts program offers a studio curriculum within a liberal arts setting. Courses emphasize personal growth and self-reflection alongside technical skill across primary media, and they teach students to define the content of their work. Majors also study the history of art to ground their practice. Students gain a personal studio space later in the major, and they can exhibit in the campus gallery, which also hosts senior thesis shows. Visiting contemporary artists lecture and offer one-on-one feedback. The program encourages study abroad and helps students choose programs that fit the major. Faculty bring years of experience and tailor their guidance to each student's needs. Recent graduates may apply for a fellowship that supports a year of continued studio practice on campus.
