The Studio Art major immerses you in the study of art through the development of craft and technique combined with concept and meaning. Otterbein University’s art program is a nationally recognized fine arts program offering both B.A. and B.F.A. degrees in studio art. Our art department is grounded in the tradition and holistic nature of the liberal arts, providing students with a solid foundation for the future. The two degree tracks offered have benefits for all types of students of the arts.
B.A. in Studio Art
The B.A. in Studio Art prepares you for art and art-related careers while offering the flexibility of studying across a broad area of interests. It offers the opportunity to pursue a second major or minor to compliment your artistic interests. Studio Art majors often complete second majors in Art History; Psychology; Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies; Business; Equine Science; Creative Writing; Race and Ethnic Studies, and many more. The B.A. in Studio Art combines a thorough foundation in drawing, composition, and design with the opportunity to focus on at least one studio concentration area, including drawing, painting, photography, graphic design, ceramics, printmaking, and intermedia.
B.F.A. in Studio Art
Our B.F.A. is a professional degree that prepares you for graduate study and careers in art and design. Students seeking a B.F.A. take seven additional courses in art than in the B.A., providing more extensive, in-depth studio experience and research. Like the B.A., the B.F.A. provides a thorough foundation in drawing, composition, and design along with study in an area of concentration, including drawing, painting, photography, graphic design, ceramics, printmaking, and intermedia. In addition, the B.F.A. builds on this program with additional requirements in color theory, art history, and studio courses. The B.F.A. also includes an independent study capstone course in your senior year, allowing you to pursue your own creative path and lay the groundwork for a professional portfolio. Students may apply for the B.F.A. program in their sophomore year.
