About

We serve our students by focusing on their intellectual and creative growth, fostering their artistic practice, and preparing them for lifetimes of accomplishment and meaningful contribution as culture creators. The program frames the individual needs of each student through the development of conceptual, aesthetic, and technical skills. While in the College of Visual Arts and Design, students engage with ideas and practices across disciplines while pursuing an in-depth investigation in their area of concentration.

Degree

The Department of Studio Art offers the BFA degree with a major in studio art and concentrations in ceramics, drawing and painting, metalsmithing and jewelry, new media art, photography, printmaking and sculpture. Students interested in these degrees may contact the department office.

Entering students

All students who are admitted to UNT who wish to major in Studio Art will be designated as Pre-Studio Art until they complete the entry review and are accepted into a concentration. Admission to the university does not guarantee admission to the major.
