Online Studio Art
Our online B.A. in Art develops a visual toolbox useful in a wide range of fields, both in fine and applied arts. All credits are taken online, and students can study from anywhere in the country.
Students have access to all online courses in the SVMA (film, digital, material, sound) to build a creative and individualized pathway. This allows students to tailor their studies to their interests. For example, a degree might focus on design, painting, animation, printmaking, photography, illustration, web production, or community-based art, to name a few. Online courses are offered across our school, and students work with a wide range of professors.

Course of study
In the first year, students take foundations classes representing processes across the curriculum. Further in their studies, students focus on more specialized interests, often taking advanced and independent study in a specific area. The capstone Senior Studio can take many forms: art exhibition, website creation, videos, books, collaborative multi-disciplinary events, multi-media presentations for organizations, illustrations, interactive visualization of information are examples of the many possibilities.
Because of the flexibility of this program, it is recommended that students work closely with their advisor when selecting classes.
Students from any major and any institution are welcome in our online classes.
