Art BFA - Scientific Illustration



Overview

Students are encouraged to develop a personal style in their studio area of emphasis. The B.F.A. candidate should achieve an insight into and an understanding of the nature of the materials and processes. In most studio programs, students are required to present an exhibition that serves as a capstone experience before graduation, demonstrating their achievement in developing a mature and cohesive body of work. Specific course requirements vary for each of the following areas of specialization: Ceramics, Drawing and Painting, Fabric Design, Graphic Design, Interior Design, Jewelry and Metal Work, Photography and Expanded Media, Printmaking, Scientific Illustration, and Sculpture. Contact the School of Art for a list of requirements for each area.
