Be inspired by art and visual culture, and make your mark on the world. Work with internationally active artists and scholars as you pursue your professional and creative goals in a collaborative environment.

A bachelor's degree (BA) in art allows you to explore art as well as other interests; it offers flexible program options, while you focus on studio art and art history/museum studies courses.

Build your program across art, humanities, sciences and social sciences. You'll delve into studio art and art history/museum studies courses to understand and appreciate art from around the world, and immerse yourself in the study of culture and creativity. You'll also compliment these studies with courses outside your major to achieve your degree.

Customize your BA (Art)

• BA (Art) allows you to take a minor and includes more non-major courses than a Bachelor of Fine Arts – Art
• If you are interested in both art and science, a BA & BSc (Art) allows for two majors: one in art and one in the sciences
• Combine your BA (Art) with a management degree from the Dhillon School of Business if your goal is to influence business operations in the cultural sector

As a BA (Art) student, you'll access co-operative education, international exchanges, independent and applied studies as well as volunteer opportunities. uLethbridge is the only university in Alberta to offer co-operative education to all majors in the university, at both the undergrad and graduate levels.
