The UMass Boston Art Department offers a general major in art leading to a BA. The faculty of the Art Department includes both scholars and professional artists, and the curriculum aims to combine their differing approaches to visual experience. The creative/studio curriculum provides a sound basis in creative process, in visual thinking, and in certain technical skills. Courses in art history explore the aesthetic attributes of art objects contextualized in history, culture, and religion. Students may elect to focus their studies in art history, or in studio, or they may chose to balance the two.

An application fee might be required. All prices are estimated for previous years and are subject to change. Please, bear in mind that this program isn’t offered for Russian and Azerbaijani citizens.
