Visual Studies offers undergraduate degree programs in Fine and Studio Art and Art History: BA and BFA in Art:The Department of Visual Studies offers two types of bachelor's degrees in art: the BFA, which is a focused fine art program, and a BA, which is a liberal arts-based program. The BA degree focuses on studio art within a broad program of general studies that allows the student to pursue a minor or double major in another program. The BFA degree focuses on intensive work in studio art concentrations, as listed below, supported by a smaller, more defined program of general studies.

Students acquire the necessary tools and knowledge to understand the visual world that envelops them by examining everything from traditional media such as painting to architecture to digital media. Elements of the fabric of visual culture, such as taste and patronage, myth and narrative, gender and race, and intercultural relations are pursued though a global approach to art history. Careers and further study:As one would expect, department alumni include many artists who have national and international reputations via their acclaimed exhibitions, commissions, and awards. Alumni have also had great success in education, becoming professors or lecturers at leading colleges and universities or teachers at community colleges and secondary schools. In addition, alumni have entered a range of professions in places such as art galleries, museums, alternative art spaces, auction houses, design and advertising firms, and government agencies for culture as directors, designers, curators, preparators, installers, and art handlers, as well as finding themselves in conservation, fabrication, fund raising, and community outreach programming.
