The Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts degree focuses on art and design
within the context of a program of liberal studies. A Bachelor of Arts
in Fine Arts at Indiana University Southeast is a four-year program
comprised of five studio areas and art history:
Ceramics
Drawing
Graphic Design
Painting
Printmaking
Art History
Students can major in one or more of these studio concentrations and
can also minor in Art History.
Foundations courses at IU Southeast are required of all students majoring
in Fine Arts. These courses provide a fundamental background in design
and composition (both 3D and 2D). This basic foundation in visual principles
and design is essential for students as they develop concepts and ideas
that can be applied to their own creative work.
