Art B.A.

Students interested in careers in the art fields of community art education, K-12 art education, art therapy, gallery assistant, or graphic design should consider the Bachelor of Arts degree in Art. Students interested in curatorial, museum, gallery or collection management should consider the Bachelor of Arts degree with a concentration in art history. The significant differences between the B.A. in Art and the B.F.A. degree are fewer studio art hours and art history hours, and the requirement of a minor. The B.A. in Art with a concentration in art history includes a 12-hour foreign language requirement, courses focused on art history, and a minor requirement. Students wanting to continue graduate studies in art history after completing their undergraduate degree should select the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) with a concentration in art history. Students should consult an art history advisor if considering the Bachelor of Arts in Art.
