Mission<br />
The Department of Art creates an academic environment that thrives<br />
on the interrelationship of Biblical Christianity and artistic practice.<br />
It offers students a professional visual arts program with a rigorous<br />
curriculum that reflects a strong liberal arts emphasis and a solid<br />
Christian worldview.<br />
Objectives<br />
The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at <strong>Biola</strong> <strong>University</strong> is designed:<br />
1. To equip students with a foundational and integrative understanding<br />
of art production based on formal and conceptual<br />
skills<br />
2. To develop critical understandings of art history and aesthetics<br />
that construct global perspectives on contemporary<br />
culture<br />
3. To integrate faith and learning in such a way that students<br />
become servant-leaders who have integrity, creativity, excellence<br />
and vision and who will impact the church and the<br />
marketplace<br />
4. To broadly prepare students for a variety of arts related fields,<br />
graduate education and church related ministries<br />
5. To foster a commitment to life-long learning whereby<br />
graduates are able to critically assess and produce work that<br />
recognizes, understands and responds to socio-political,<br />
philosophical and spiritual concerns<br />
The Department of Art is accredited through the National Association of<br />
Schools of Art and Design (NASAD).<br />
Admissions Requirements<br />
The Department of Art has an open admissions policy. Incoming<br />
first-year students and transfer students from other institutions may<br />
declare an art major when they apply for admission to <strong>Biola</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />

in the BFA degree program, transfer students and Torrey Honors<br />
Institute students may need an additional semester to complete all<br />
of their requirements.
