Major Requirements

The B.F.A. visual arts major (with concentrations in fine art, graphic design, and digital art) is offered at NCAS.

It is a professional degree program that provides students with a multidisciplinary approach to the visual arts. It offers practical, experimental, and theoretical course work and the technical skills necessary for careers in art and design, and includes a large liberal arts component that adds to the development of personal expression. Students also may take advantage of special internship opportunities in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area. Work starts with the foundation courses, then continues to advanced studio work, where students can pursue their goals and concentrate in either fine arts, graphic design, or digital arts. The program consists of 27 courses earning 81 credits, including a required group of foundation courses, art history courses, critical studies courses, advanced studio courses in the concentration, art electives, portfolio, and senior thesis. The concentration is worked out in consultation with an adviser, and is intended to develop ideas and skills in a particular area. During the senior year, students produce work that is shown in an exhibition at the Paul Robeson Gallery and that also forms the portfolio for admission to graduate school or for professional job entry. Students take the following courses:
