Art - BA

Art major at Northeastern University is a general studio-based program that balances art history with studio art projects and classes in drawing and painting. It focuses on a well-rounded liberal arts education with a breadth of general studies in the arts and humanities, the natural and physical sciences, and the social sciences. Art majors have the option to take introductory courses in Digital Art and Graphic Design. A selection of studio courses can also be taken at the nearby School of the Museum of Fine Arts.
