Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) - Art and Technology

University at Buffalo - SUNY

Art and design are all around us. As an artist or designer, you can impact every level of society-from culture, communication and commerce to sustainability, equity and basic problem solving. So if you want to make your mark on the world-and make anything you can imagine-then art might be the perfect program for you. You’ll get to use your creativity and explore how art helps you better understand yourself, your community, and the larger social, cultural and political contexts in which you exist.The BFA degree focuses on intensive work in Emerging Practices (Art & Technology), supported by a smaller, more defined program of general studies in the liberal arts. Students in the BFA also take a 2-semester capstone course, resulting in a senior thesis exhibition. Because this option includes the development of a cohesive body of work, the BFA is considered particularly relevant for students who wish to continue on to an MFA program.
