The 75 credit hour Studio major engages with Two-Dimensional and Three-Dimensional disciplines: ceramics, drawing/painting, glass, jewelry/metals, photography, printmaking and sculpture. The association of multiple studio environments to earn the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree reflects contemporary art practices and affords students the opportunity to experience a variety of studios while supporting students who wish to focus in one area. The required course work offers a selection of five core courses from the seven areas, followed by seven electives at the intermediate and advanced level and three capstone courses. Four required courses in Art History contextualize the various studio experiences. Students are also encouraged to enroll in Digital Arts, Graphic Design or additional Studio courses as they consider options for the four remaining electives required for the Bachelor of Fine Arts Studio Degree.
Learning Outcomes for the Studio BFA Degree:
BFA graduates from the Studio Division of the BGSU School of Art will:
- Apply studio and scholarly skills, both technically and discursively, at a level to be competitive in their chosen field
- Demonstrate breadth and complexity of thought through creative problem solving in the studio, involving art historical and contemporary solutions
- Reflect on and communicate ideas and concepts coherently and convincingly
- Engage with community activities, projects and exhibitions where art practices are central to content and expression
- Invest in the practice of professional attitudes and behavior
