THE BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS DEGREE<\/p>\n
The BFA is a studio intense course of study designed for students with a strong commitment\u00a0to a professional future as graphic designers, studio artists, or artist\/teachers. Those\u00a0who select the BFA degree plan are expected to exhibit a high level of competence and\u00a0motivation. Post-graduate or graduate study should be a part of the future plans of the\u00a0student pursuing a career in art. Those with the goal of becoming college studio art\u00a0instructors should plan on graduate study terminating in the Master of Fine Arts degree.\u00a0The student pursuing a BFA may, according to his or her interests and career goals, select\u00a0a major concentration from the areas of graphic design, two-dimensional studio (drawing,\u00a0painting and printmaking), or three-dimensional studio (sculpture, ceramics, and jewelry\/\u00a0metals). Due to the large number of students studying graphic design and the sequential\u00a0nature of the graphic design curriculum, special care must be taken to ensure that students\u00a0pursuing this degree concentration graduate within the normal four year time frame.<\/p>\n
