Curriculum The Department of Art at the University of Mississippi is
committed to preparing undergraduate students to excel
in creative production, research, education, and service in the visual
arts. Our programs begin with a basis in the liberal arts, which gives
artists a wider understanding of the world. Ole Miss has the most comprehensive
art program in the state, offering three baccalaureate degrees with
several areas of concentration within the studio degrees.
Undergraduate Programs
The B.A. degree is a broad degree focusing on studio art. Students often choose to focus on graphic/web design with a minor in business, journalism, or computer science. The B.A. in art history offers a broad choice of courses in Western and
non-Western art history, as well as unique courses in the arts, especially
concerning Southern arts and architecture. Artists seeking professional
portfolios will pursue the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (B.F.A.), which
allows for a concentration in ceramics, painting, printmaking, graphic
design/web design or sculpture.
