B. A. Degree
The Bachelor of Arts Degree with a major in studio art is appropriate for those students who seek a general course of study with less depth and more breadth than is required by the B. F. A. degree. Though this program does not provide a strong preparation for studio production careers, it may, when combined with an appropriate minor, provide an education suitable for a number of other vocations.
