Students with the degree in Fine Arts will complement their fine arts study by fulfilling a concentration in one of the fields of the fine arts - art, music, or drama - that suits their professional goals. They will also complete a field experience in that concentration area to provide practical experience and to encourage networking that can lead to employment after graduation.
