Why pursue the B.A. in Fine Arts: Studio Art?
As the birthplace of modern humanism, naturalistic arts and scientific inquiry, Florence was the cradle of Renaissance civilization - the place where Dante, Brunelleschi, Botticelli, and Leonardo da Vinci forever changed the way we see the world. Florence is the ideal destination for those interested in studying studio art; the degree program offers unparalleled access to museums, festivals, and artists in the richest art environment in Europe. The B.A. in Fine Arts with a concentration in Studio Art is a four-year program designed to combine a broad-based training in the visual arts with a traditional liberal arts education. After foundation training, each student specializes in one of several tracks: digital media, drawing, graphic design, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, or restoration.
