BFA-BA Dual Degree Programs

These programs offer visual art students the ability to earn both degrees, Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Arts, and often take additional time to complete both degree requirements. They usually require acceptance by two separate institutions.

Parsons School of Design ( http://www.parsons.edu/ ) and Eugene Lang College (BFA & BA) ( http://www.newschool.edu/lang/ )

Rhode Island School of Design and Brown University (BA & BFA)-  http://risd.brown.edu/

U Michigan (BFA or BA & BA or BS) - http://stamps.umich.edu/undergraduate-programs/joint_degree

Cross Enrollment Between Colleges of Art & Liberal Arts Colleges/Universities:

These programs don't offer two degrees but permit students attending one college to take visual art or liberal arts classes at a nearby institution.

Inquire if you are interested - several are space dependant &/or require faculty/dean signatures.
