Bachelor of Arts in Arts

The Bachelor of Arts in Art at Lincoln Memorial University prepares you to study the arts while advancing your skills and technique as an artist. The program also includes the history of art, helping you understand artistic expression historically and in the context of contemporary life. Advanced art courses include Art 2D Painting and Drawing and Art 3D Ceramics, with support for communication and critical thinking.

Studio-focused learning is supported by dedicated design lab, drawing and painting studios, a ceramics studio, and exhibition and gallery space in facilities located in historic Cumberland Gap. You can begin exhibiting during your first year through the LMU Student Art Exhibitions, and the visual work you build culminates in a solo exhibition installed professionally and open to the public. Small class sizes average 14 students per class, and you can also join Arts in the Gap and intern in a nationally recognized arts program.
