B.A. in Art (080) with a Specialization in Fine Art


A blend of studio-based art; socially engaged art; theory and research, our fine art bachelor of arts (B.A.) program builds on Newark's historical roots in art, activism, and community building. Responding to a range of interests and emerging issues in the arts, we have designed a curriculum to help our students build foundations for satisfying, sustainable, ethical, diverse, and lifelong careers in the arts as well as other professional sectors of our society. In addition to focused studies in the program's particular strengths of painting and photography, courses in critical studies and advanced art history offer students social, cultural, and historical contexts for their art practice. This rigorous educational journey provides students fundamentals for life as an artist but also broader perspectives for other careers in the arts. These broader perspectives come from, in partnership with Express Newark, the socially engaged art center at Rutgers-Newark.

The B.A. in fine art is offered through the Department of Arts, Culture, and Media (ACM). ACM houses programs and/or majors in art, art history, graphic design, journalism, music, and video production. Each major includes an ACM core sequence requirement. Taking advantage of the range of disciplines in ACM and the campus mission to engage with its community, the core combines an integrated sequence of classes, shaped in large part by projects drawn from the urban region surrounding the university. The sequence consists of three classes: Introduction to Arts, Media, and Culture, a class designated by each program that combines interdisciplinary pedagogy with a student's major; and either Colloquium in Arts, Culture, and Media or Seminar in Arts, Culture, and Media.
