Overview

Program Overview

The B.F.A. Studio Art from Ohio University, offered through Honors Tutorial College, is a four-year program requiring a student to take one tutorial each semester, introductory and upper-division studio art courses, art history, and collateral studies. In dialogue with the School of Art curriculum, the program offers exceptional students the opportunity to study the many aspects of studio art intensively in one-on-one relationships with faculty members.

The program’s mission is to train highly skilled artists with a broad understanding of contemporary art, emphasizing critical skill development and a strong intellectual framework. Individualized curriculums reflect intensive practical training, scholarly research in art history, critical theory, relevant research fields, as well as opportunities for collaboration and professional experience. The program prepares students for entry into MFA and PhD courses of study and other related professions in the field.

Students must submit a portfolio to the area of choice (ceramics, graphic design, interior architecture, painting, photography, printmaking or sculpture), which is reviewed by the area chair and the Director of Studies. BFA portfolio reviews are scheduled at the discretion of the Director of Studies, but will typically occur sophomore year. Upper division classes and tutorials will be concentrated in the area in which the student is earning the B.F.A. This enables the student to acquire the full range of skills necessary to successfully continue in graduate study.
