Fine Arts Degree (BFA) - CCAD

Fine Arts

Arrive with talent. We’ll help you refine and unleash it.

You’ll realize your artistic vision and take your creative journey further in our Fine Arts program. Here, you’ll learn cutting-edge art theory in the classroom as you sharpen your skills in the studio, working in a range of media and approaches like drawing, printmaking, sculpture, and painting.

That’s just the start. You’ll also have the opportunity to connect with internationally renowned visiting artists who can share their approach to making, and who will give you important feedback as you develop your creative practice. You’ll learn how to give—and receive—critiques, developing the kind of critical thinking and confidence that you need to succeed in the professional world, wherever you go. Thanks to this learning in and outside of the classroom, you’ll graduate ready to succeed in whatever you want to tackle next, whether that’s entering a competitive MFA program, showing your work in gallery spaces, creating functional pieces, or traveling along any of the many career paths available to you.
