Our faculty challenges and inspires the next generation of artists to find their voice, make exceptional objects, and generate new art experiences in various media.

Our selective BFA program will challenge you to develop your craft, take part in research, and sharpen your analytical skills. It's competitive. And it's also an extension of the BA Fine Arts program. We also offer a BFA in Graphic Design.
You must apply for admission to enter the program, and acceptance is based on the quality of your portfolio, grades, and faculty recommendations. The courses we offer BFA candidates help you expand your creative research in preparation for careers in art and graduate studies.
The difference between a fine arts major and a bachelor of fine arts also comes down to the studio. You'll get the chance to hone your artistic skills with 13 advanced elective studio hours, along with your required courses.
Every student at Flagler College also gets a broad-based education with Core, our groundbreaking general education program. At Flagler, we're dedicated to educating the whole person. We foster intellectual, social, and personal transformation in our students.
