Flexible

UF’s School of Art + Art History offers different levels of exploring and studying studio art. Students can choose from our studio-rigorous BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) programs in Graphic Design or Art (with emphases in Ceramics, Art + Technology, Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Sculpture, and Creative Photography), or our flexible BA in Visual Art Studies (Bachelor of Arts) where concentration within a specific media is still possible.

Diverse

BFA students benefit from an in-depth foundations program encouraging exploration and experimentation across a variety of media during the first two years. Although BFA students do intensively focus within one media area during the junior and senior years, they must still take studios outside of the core media focus, thereby allowing for a diverse media experience throughout the entire four years of the BFA education.

Prepared

The BFA program promotes a rich and intensive studio experience allowing the undergraduate student to take art and design to the maximum depth possible in preparation to be an artist or designer, or to continue further study in art and design via a graduate program, or to even begin a career path directly related to the arts.

Empowered

Graduates of our program are prepared to enter a competitive market and embark on careers in areas they choose, such as branding, experience, UX/UI, and other areas of design. As a program, our core values focus on building community; fostering independent, critical, and design thinking; and empowering students to be leaders in design.
