Art Major

(60-61 credits)

The art major for the bachelor of art/bachelor of science degree is designed for the student who desires a more general education, or a second major. The total studio credit hour requirements are fewer than those for the BFA, permitting a larger number of elective credits. This degree is designed for those who might wish subsequently to pursue the master of science or master of arts, or possibly master of fine arts degrees.
