A primary goal for most students is developing their careers as exhibiting visual artists. Creating associations with professional and college galleries is encouraged and supported at all levels. In addition, graduates of the Drawing and Painting program find opportunities in arts-related businesses such as publishing, arts administration, gallery operations, and teaching. Students who pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree may also work toward an art education certification, which allows them to teach studio art at the elementary through high school levels. A Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree is required to teach studio art at the college level.
