Studio Art Minor (Fine Art Degree)

The minor for students pursuing the BFA or BA in studio allows Fine Arts students to gain more experience in an area outside of their BFA or BA curriculum. The studio minor facilitates an even broader experience in studio studies by providing students the opportunity to explore another studio area of focus with greater depth.
