要获得视觉艺术学士学位，学生必须完成通识教育要求，并在必修的视觉艺术课程中获得48个学分。该系将学习课程分为三个级别：基础级别允许学生区分真实的个人决定和社会文化条件所决定的个人决定。辅导级别的课程使学生可以专注于与他们的个人决定相关的创造性问题，并了解他们与他人的决定的关系。最终的关键级别使学生能够开发出针对项目正式解决方案的质量控制，并将其与当代艺术环境联系起来。该计划认识到并非所有学生都对成为专业艺术家感兴趣，因此该课程有两条轨道。不同之处体现在每个学生所需的实习类型以及为与美术创作有关的外围环境中
To earn the B.A. in Visual Arts, students must complete the Liberal Education requirements and 48 credits in required Visual Arts courses. The department organizes its courses of study in three levels:The foundation level allows students to differentiate between authentic personal decisions and those dictated by social and cultural conditions. A tutorial level allows students to focus on creative problems connected with their personal decisions and to understand their relation to the decisions of others. The final critical level enables students to develop a quality control for the formal solutions of the projects and to relate them to the contemporary art context. Recognizing that not all students are interested in becoming professional artists, the program features two tracks. The difference is reflected in the type of internships required for each student and the preparation of a written thesis for those students in a peripheral situation in relation to art-making. For art practitioners, the Senior Project consists of an exhibit in the Amelie A. Wallace Gallery. For others, a thesis paper is required to fulfill senior project credit.
