The B.A. Degree in Art
The B.A. Degree in Art at Athens
State University
certifies completion of major study in the visual arts, taken as an integral
part of a liberal arts degree. The degree implies depth of study in a number of
studio areas, graphic arts, and art history courses.
The Bachelors degree in Art provides students with a strong foundation on the visual arts centered on an in-depth study in a number of studio, art history and graphic art courses. The student will choose from the Studio Arts Option or the Computer Graphics Option.
The Studio Arts Option allows students to combine two or more studio disciplines that, cumulatively, are the equivalent of one major. The flexibility of this program enables students to pursue studies in ceramics, drawing, painting, photography, multi-media or printmaking to achieve objectives specific to individual, artistic goals. These goals are established through careful counseling with Athens State University faculty. Each student is assisted in setting up a well-coordinated, diversified program of fine art studies. The senior major exhibition culminates the study. This degree option is traditional, and opportunities following graduation include graduate school and professional artist.
The Computer Graphics Option allows students to effectively identify and solve meaningful problems using creativity and critical thinking with computer graphics. Emphasis for students is on real-world, commercial, practical projects. Students will invent a body of work that is beautiful and intelligent with a final portfolio that is engaging and imaginative. The senior major exhibition culminates the study. This degree option offers graduates the opportunity to freelance, enter the job market or matriculate to graduate school.
Athens State University
offers a flexible schedule of day, night, weekend and distance learning
