Bachelor of Arts [B.A] From Oregon State University

Courses at the 100 level stress fundamental aspects of visual literacy. Courses numbered 200 through 499 offer increasingly intensive study in art history, painting, printmaking, photography, digital studio, sculpture, expanded media, and drawing.

The Art Area of the School of Arts and Communication offers Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), Bachelor of Arts (BA), and Bachelor of Science (BS) degrees through extensive course work in fine arts, graphic design, photography, and art history.

The curriculum provides an awareness and understanding of the historical and contemporary significance of art as a unique feature of society. Major programs offer the opportunity for professional artistic development while incorporating subjects that lead to a liberal education. These programs prepare the student for a range of professional opportunities or later graduate study in photography, fine art, and art history, as well as many related fields. As a cultural enrichment for our students, the Art Area sponsors exhibitions, lectures, workshops, and other events related to the visual arts.
