Studio Art
The Studio Art Emphasis is different from the other B.F.A. emphasis areas by allowing students more course options, encouraging working across disciplines, and creating a more open curriculum that reflects contemporary art practice. Students can design their own curriculum in coordination with their academic advisor.
The Core Curriculum is designed to foster critical thinking skills and introduce students to basic domains of thinking that transcend disciplines. The Core applies to all majors. Information on specific classes in the Core can be found at https://www.marshall.edu/gened/.
