Bachelor of Arts in Art

Expand Your
Creative Process

Cultivate Your
Artistic Voice

Observe and analyze the world around you as you create.

Art is much more than the product of brushes or lenses, of kilns or forges. Through art, we’re able to make a difference, face societal issues and understand the world. At UW-Green Bay, you’ll become part of a community of artists who challenge each other and are eager to learn and grow together. The program is designed for you to emerge well-rounded and ready to take on what's next!

Connect. Develop. Grow.

"When I took a tour of UW-Green Bay, I was struck by the connections the staff had with one another and the students. While the campus is smaller, it offered a tighter knit feel and more one-on-one learning opportunities... there [is] more hands-on learning and time to develop your craft. There are opportunities outside of the immediate campus to grow from such as my study abroad trip to Italy."
