Studio Art BA

Traditional practices meet new technologies in a rigorous creative environment.

You will paint, draw, sculpt and then can animate, sync sound to video and design projects for 3D printing – sometimes all in the same day. Prepare for professional life in the arts through our galleries, workspaces, and networks; on and off-campus. No portfolio required for admission.
