Program Overview

The School of Art and Design offers two undergraduate degrees, the Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) and the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.). The B.F.A., a professional degree, includes five specializations: art education, communication design, industrial design, pre-art therapy, and studio art. Students enrolled in the B.F.A. studio art specialization may pursue an area of emphasis or multiple emphases in ceramics, drawing, glass, metalsmithing, painting, printmaking, or sculpture. The B.A. degree in art includes four specializations: art education, art history, general studio, and photography.

The education of teachers, scholars, artists, and designers requires a comprehensive program in the specializations and a university core program outside of the major. In meeting these objectives, the School emphasizes theory and practice in its specializations. Studies are sequentially planned to facilitate orderly matriculation through the baccalaureate curricula.

Within their first semesters of coursework, all majors are required to complete foundation studies: beginning coursework in art history, drawing, and two- and three-dimensional design. B.F.A. students must participate in a portfolio review of work from previous art studies (at SIUC or elsewhere) upon completion of the foundation studio courses and one or two courses specific to a specialization. This assessment portfolio review will evaluate the students’ technical, conceptual and creative abilities, and provide feedback for further improvement.
