Overview

The School of Art offers the follwoing degree programs:

B.F.A.—art major, concentrations in art education, new media and design, painting, photography, printmaking and drawing, and sculpture
B.A.—art major, concentrations in art history and studio art

The Art History concentration is for those students wishing to pursue careers either in art scholarship or the museum and gallery profession. Those thinking primarily of Art History are encouraged to study the foreign languages needed for scholarship, particularly French and German.

The Studio Art concentration at University of North Carolina Greensboro combines a liberal arts education grounded in the humanities with studio practice. A B.A. degree is ideal for students interested in a range of post-graduate fields and art-related professional careers. All studio students entering the art department begin in the B.A. Studio Art concentration.

Program Learning Outcomes

Graduates go to graduate schools including N.C. State University, New York University, California Institute of the Arts, Portland State University, and many others.

The mission of the School of Art is founded on three passionately held principles:

First, that the exploration of ideas through the visual arts is both necessary and culturally valuable;
Second, that an understanding of visual communication within contemporary society is critical for an informed world view; and
Third, that an appreciation and knowledge of art history, past and present, is essential to both young scholars and developing artists.
