Picture Yourself in a Career in Art & Design

Our B.F.A. degree in Graphic Design at Middle Tennessee State University guides students through the creative process while they build a highly competitive educational foundation at a nationally accredited university. Our graduates are recruited for the top design jobs in the region and across the US. Our B.F.A. degree in Studio Art prepares students for a practice in a studio art, as a guest artist or lecturer — or even to apply to post-graduate programs in the Fine Arts. Our B.S. degree in Art Education can prepare you to be a future elementary or high school educator, and our B.A. and B.S. degrees in Art History programs open up career possibilities at galleries and museums.
