Career Opportunities

A fine arts studio background provides excellent opportunities in areas such as professional artmaking, graphic design, motion graphics and animation, video, photography, museum and gallery work, marketing and communications, and arts administration, among others. They also enroll in terminal degree programs in art and design (M.F.A. and M.Des.) as they continue to develop their creative practice as professional artists.

Graduates who concentrate in Art Education teach at all levels from elementary through high school, in public and private schools, education departments of museums, and in community art programs. They often become art supervisors through additional training at the graduate level. In addition, they enroll in advanced degree programs (M.A. and Ed.D. or Ph.D.) and develop and refine skills in research to further their training in studio art or choose to specialize in fields related to art education. While teaching, they continue their own artmaking and research.
