Degree Title:	BA in Liberal Studies - The Arts
College:	Union Institute & University
Description:	Follow your personal vision and professional goals. Discover your abilities, find your vision, and pursue your passion. Art can take you on a personal journey of discovery or lead you to a new career. Established artists can develop portfolios as they bring their work to a higher level, while beginners can discover the “artist within themselves” and forge their own artistic path. Our graduates have gone on to distinguished careers in photography, sculpture, painting and many other forms of art. Online, you work closely with a faculty mentor who gives you feedback, guidance and helps you discover a whole academic context for the work that most interests you. Learners of all abilities undertake studies in painting, photography, drawing, sculpture, collage, multimedia, crafts, art history, criticism, and theater arts. Combined with other areas, the study of art provides good preparation for many careers. Our undergraduate learners who graduate with a concentration in art often go on to a Master of Fine Arts in Visual Art degree.
