Key Summary

About : The Bachelor of Art is a versatile degree designed to deepen your understanding of various fields like humanities, social sciences, and fine arts. It equips you with critical thinking skills and a strong foundation in communication, creativity, and cultural awareness.

Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue diverse career paths such as education, media, arts administration, public relations, and roles in non-profit organizations. They may also work in content creation, marketing, or further their studies in specialized areas.

Context and communication are key to learning how to be an effective artist, so you'll begin your art education by building a foundation of technical and writing skills in art history, design, and drawing. Through class critiques, you'll learn how to give and receive valuable feedback on your work from faculty and classmates. Most of your time will be spent working in our facilities, which include six art concentration studios, firing kilns, dark rooms, and digital labs. Our newest interdisciplinary makerspace, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) Studio, exemplifies UNC Asheville's liberal arts mission by bringing art and science together to create collaborative pieces of art and technology.

We also have multiple galleries across campus to host student, faculty and visiting artist exhibitions. All senior-level students produce a major body of work in the form of a solo or group exhibition and portfolio, which serves as strong preparation for postgraduate work. All students are also encouraged to learn outside of the studio and gain professional experience through internships at local museums and galleries.
