Undergraduate Studies:
The IU Southeast Fine Art Program offers a 120 credit hour BFA with concentrations in Ceramics, Painting, Printmaking, Digital Art and Interactive Media, Drawing, and Graphic Design. The Ceramics studio has a comprehensive set of equipment and stocks over 100 clay and glaze making materials. Our tuition is much lower than University of Louisville, Kentucky College of Art and Design, and Bellarmine University.
