In our ever changing global experience, Winthrop’s Department of Fine Arts acknowledges the importance of developing and nurturing the citizen artist who can navigate the ideas and challenges of our time.  The B.A. in Art which incorporates liberal arts, studio and art history is a unique program that can address the challenges of the new environment. 

The B.A. in Art is a 125 credit hour program that offers students an opportunity to minor in an area of interest, to become proficient in a variety of studio and art history offerings and to design a program that meets their professional or graduate level aspirations.  The diversity of the General Education requirements together with the strength of the Fine Arts Foundation Program provide a quality liberal arts education and artistic experience upon which each student can lay the groundwork in a variety of fields. 

Like all the programs in the Department of Fine Arts, the B.A. in Art is supported by the dedication, energy and resources of qualified artists, scholars and educators.  Students, faculty and staff within Fine Arts comprise a community of active learners and problem solvers.  The Winthrop Experience in Fine Arts is challenging, but prepares each individual to work creatively and collaboratively within his or her community.
