Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) in Art

Colorado State University

In the B.F.A. program, students across all concentrations follow a similar path, with a few variations depending on the focus area. During their first year, students dive into Foundations courses-exploring form and observation, time and structure, color and composition, materials and space, and global art history. In the second year, students begin to explore different concentration areas and get hands-on experience in dedicated, well-equipped studio spaces designed to support creative exploration. As juniors and seniors, students deepen their skills and ideas by taking upper-division courses in their chosen concentration each semester. Art education students also begin engaging in coursework that supports their development as future educators.
