The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree is the professional undergraduate degree in the visual arts at SUNY Potsdam. Admission is by portfolio review only. The BFA adheres to the College's strong general education in the liberal arts, while offering increased breadth and depth in the studio arts. The primary goal of the program is to foster students' mastery of the visual arts, by giving them further experience in the studio and advanced work in art history and theory.
