CBU Announces New BFA in Studio Art

Christian Brothers University (CBU) is pleased to announce a new Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) with an emphasis in Studio Art for Fall 2007. The new major will provide concentrations in Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, and Sculpture.

The new program challenges students to combine the creative and intellectual process while learning to communicate through images. Just as a writer thinks in words, a musician in sound and rhythm, and a mathematician in numbers, an artist thinks visually. At CBU, the student will be challenged to use all aspects of their Lasallian education to become imaginative problem solvers that possess the ability to create individual and socially relevant works of art.

Through small classroom numbers, students will receive individualized instruction at the highest academic level. Students studying art at CBU will rapidly develop a sense of community with their peers as well as their professors through campus and community activities. They will be made aware of global issues in art through study abroad programs, visiting artists from around the world, local exhibitions, and internships.

CBU is currently taking applications for this fall. For information about the new program, contact Jana Travis at jtravis@cbu.edu or visit the Fine Art web site. For application information, contact the Office of Admissions at (901) 321-3205. ###
