The Bachelor of Arts program offers a more flexible and broad academic education than the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree while still providing a meaningful experience in the studio area and preparation for many design and art-related careers. The degree provides the student with the opportunity to double major or to combine an art major with a minor in various fields. Some possibilities for minors include communication, multimedia, education, business, film, animation and many other options.
