The arts are vital to cultural expression; they enrich our lives while challenging and broadening our views of the world. The fine arts faculty fosters an environment of creativity, individual growth, and meaningful expression. We provide interdisciplinary approaches to the practice of art and the study of visual culture. Students have the opportunity to put their ideas into form while becoming visually literate, historically grounded, and familiar with the diversity of arts and cultures worldwide. The Department of Fine Arts provides a diversity of experiences in the visual arts: Art history/visual culture, Ceramics, Digital media, Drawing, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, and Sculpture. Students interested in preparing for high school and primary-grade art teaching may pursue a B.F.A. degree for their subject matter preparation. However, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education does not offer a certification program in art education. The bachelor of fine arts is a professionally oriented degree program.

At least 52 of the minimum 70 credit hours in fine arts must be in upper-division courses. Each student also prepares a written B.F.A. thesis and participates in a B.F.A. degree exhibition during the final semester of study. Students must also complete university graduation and general education requirements.
