Not a concentration program

The School of Art & Design (A&D) offers an innovative media-rich and intellectually challenging bachelor of fine arts (BFA) degree that integrates traditional techniques with contemporary technologies and provides extensive opportunities for exhibition, community engagement, and international study. Joint degree programs with LS&A provide opportunities for students whose educational goals include undergraduate degrees in both LS&A and A&D [see “Art & Design (Joint Program in Liberal Arts and Art & Design)” under “Special Joint Degree Programs” in Chapter V.].

Fall and winter academic terms, A&D offers studio courses designated for non-majors, some on Central Campus, some in the A&D facilities on North Campus. Art Design Perspectives courses are academic courses that count for Humanities or Interdisciplinary LS&A credit as indicated below and are open to non-major registration. In addition, all other A&D studio courses are open to non-major registration after the last day of scheduled Wolverine Access registration appointments.
