Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Fine Arts

Program Description

The Art Department offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (BFA) in the Fine Arts Program at Flagler College in addition to the Bachelor of Arts degree (BA).

The BFA Program is an intense studio experience designed to cultivate creative action through rigorous exploration in material and concept.  This program is recommended for students who plan to pursue advanced studies in a Master of Arts (MA) or Master of Fine Arts (MFA) program.  Graduating seniors in the BFA program exhibit their work in the beautiful Crisp Ellert Museum on campus at the end of each semester.

The BFA is a highly selective program in which only the most accomplished students in the fine art program will gain admission.  Applicants will be selected based upon the quality of their portfolio, grades, and faculty recommendations.

Students will apply to the BFA Program through the BFA Portfolio Review, held in the fall and spring semesters of each academic year.  Transfer students may apply for admission to the program after their first semester at Flagler College.
