The Bachelor of Arts with a major in Studio Art is designed to be flexible enough to provide the student with a background for a career or graduate study in the Visual Arts, including positions in government and public art agencies, in museums and galleries, and in design studios and private corporations. The Media Arts concentration provides a background for a career in media design for film, television, video games, and the Internet. Additionally, students can combine the B.A. in Studio Art with a second major or minor to extend career options. A student seeking the bachelor's degree in Studio Art must earn a grade of "C" or better in all required courses at the 300 level and above in order for those courses to count toward their major program.
