The Bachelor of Arts in Art and Design degree program prepares students for a range of creative careers. Beginning with strong foundational principles of design, students have a well-rounded course of study with photography, video, web design, and art history, and are then provided the flexibility to study in an area of their choosing. This St. Louis art and design degree is ideal for students who wish to double major or diversify their skills with additional minors and whose educational goal is a major in art and design that incorporates more substantive study in the liberal arts than the Bachelor of Fine Arts allows. Like the BFA program, the BA in art and design program focuses on creativity, problem solving, project development and teamwork, and mastery of technique and craftsmanship, while providing the interdisciplinary perspective necessary to succeed in today's art and design fields. You will be taught by some of the most enthusiastic St. Louis art and design practitioners with expertise across various fields, including web design, graphic design, photography, studio and digital art, fashion design and more. Their educational and professional backgrounds in the field will provide you with the most up-to-date strategies and approaches to various media, while the facilities you have access to will allow you to use the latest in hardware and software with our various computer labs and our Makerspace. In these spaces you will have access to 3D printing, AR/VR equipment and software, laser cutters, CNC routers, and more.
