Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Fine Arts] From Suffolk University

The small size of our Fine Arts program allows you to work individually with faculty, who will challenge you to develop your visual language.

As a Fine Arts major at Suffolk University, you'll become well versed in current and traditional visual precedents. From there you'll expand upon the art you create and the way you think about your work while investigating how to place your vision within the context of contemporary art movements. You'll visit local galleries and museums during upper-level seminars and begin the process of immersing yourself in the Boston arts community.

As a senior, you’ll prepare for post-college life by acquiring the job search strategies and survival skills that are essential for artists. You’ll create a catalogue to market your work, participate in gallery talks, and learn the techniques involved in gallery and museum exhibition. Your Bachelor of Fine Arts studies will culminate in a professional-level exhibit of your artwork, which will be installed in the University’s gallery at the end of the academic year.

Fine Arts Careers

Studio artists create, exhibit, and sell their artwork locally, nationally, and internationally and often begin their careers as studio assistants for professional exhibiting artists. Graduates of our BFA in Fine Arts program have gone on to work in the fields of education, curatorial and arts administration, art conservation, and art therapy. In addition to exhibiting their work, our graduates are high school art teachers and college faculty, Disney animators, set and stage designers, and visual merchandisers for companies such as Anthropologie and H&M.
