Studio Training Enhanced by the Liberal Arts
The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) program pairs demanding studio training with a creatively focused liberal arts education to meet each student’s unique interests. A four-year program, the PAFA BFA enhances artistic skill and personal expression with critical thinking using the full scope of the humanities.
Liberal Arts by Working Artists
Taught by experts in academic disciplines, the in-house BFA unifies art and a liberal-arts view with classes specifically tailored to the working artist. The experience furnishes the mind, cultivates skill and intellect, and promotes exploration of each student’s artistic calling.
This program maintains the intensity and immersion of studio-centered training focused in painting, drawing, printmaking and sculpture, and complements it with the practical value of an academic degree.
