Evangel offers three art degrees
The Bachelor of Arts in Art degree program is a well-rounded approach to artistic disciplines, combining a strong presence of art history and practical expertise in various studio areas. It is a 33-hour major and is a good option for a double major.
The Bachelor of Fine Arts allows artists to explore and refine their talents in the fine arts, including drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking and ceramics. It requires 58 studio hours and allows students to focus on careers in graphic design or studio work.
The Art Education degree is for the creative art student seeking certification to teach in the K-12 grades.
