There are three Bachelor of Arts degree options: Studio Art, Art History, and General Study (in which a student can combine both studio and art history). All three require 36 credits in the department plus an overall liberal arts education that includes English, Math, Natural Sciences, Humanities, Social Sciences, Modern Languages, plus room for 18 credits of electives. The BA degree requires a 15 credit minor in another department.
