Bachelor of Arts - Studio Art (GK)

The Studio Art program at the University of Guelph is designed to provide a progressive alternative to existing post secondary programs; one that combines equal strengths in studio practice and its conceptual and critical underpinnings. This approach has had a very positive impact on all graduates by providing them with a substantial working knowledge of both contemporary art history and studio practice, regardless of their career plans. In fact, the program is designed as a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Studio Art, rather than a Bachelor of Fine Arts. The BA allows students to more easily combine their studies in Studio Art, as Majors or Minors, with major and minor programs of study in a variety of other disciplines. The permutations are endless in terms of building their career path: graduates are successful contemporary artists, gallerists, teachers, and art therapists, among other things.
