Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio

Bowling Green State University

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 courses from the seven areas, followed by six electives at the intermediate and advanced level. 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.
