Art - Fine Arts BFA

 It gives students a much more competitive edge when entering the job market for positions in design or media production, applying to graduate programs in the visual arts, or pursuing a career as a practicing fine artist.

The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Art provides students a comprehensive education in the visual arts and art history. It requires fewer credits in art than the B.F.A. and thus allows greater flexibility for students to pursue additional academic interests or a second major in another area of study.

The department is located in the Jundt Art Center. The Jundt Art Center maintains studios in ceramics, design, drawing, painting, and printmaking. Courses in photography and filmmaking are offered in the Journalism/Broadcast and Electronic Media Studies Building. A theatre-style lecture hall in the Jundt Art Center provides space for art history, visiting artist lectures, and video/film presentations. Some of the department's courses are offered at Gonzaga-in-Florence.

The Jundt Art Museum provides storage and exhibition areas for Gonzaga University’s permanent art collection, plus changing exhibits of local, regional, national, and international artwork. Students and faculty regularly take advantage of the many opportunities to study and learn directly from artworks in the Jundt Art Museum.

The Gonzaga University Urban Arts Center (GUUAC) in downtown Spokane provides exhibit space for Gonzaga art students and faculty, local artists, and visiting artists from outside the region. The GUUAC brings the experience of contemporary art directly to the broader Spokane community.
