Art Programs are offered at Art Institute/ College/ University level in US

General studies in art may include taking a variety of classes such as photography, sketching, sculpting, woodworking, etc. These classes are usually taken during the undergraduate level. However, as one advances their level of education (e.g. graduate studies), they begin to take classes pertaining to one or two specific areas of study (e.g. computer design or interior decorating). Although most undergraduate programs are designed to study a variety of art programs, if you already have an interest in a specific skill (e.g. sculpting) there are also programs that will focus solely on these areas of study.

Art Institute vs. College or University 
For those wanting a program that is designed to preserve and perfect the knowledge of a specific area of art, an independent “Art Institute” may be preferred over a typical university. Art institutions offer programs of study focused primarily on the practice and performance related to the particular concentration of art. A college or university will offer diverse and comprehensive programs in the various concentrations in the field, incorporating a more multidisciplinary approach which will include general education courses.

Undergraduate: 
Students pursuing an undergraduate program in art may receive a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), or Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Art or in the area of specialized study. The BA degree provides well-rounded academic programs, including general education course requirements in social sciences and humanities, while courses required for a BFA degree may be only within the art department. The Bachelor of Art degree requirements are determined by the institution’s Art Department and may or may not include a multidisciplinary academic approach.

Graduate: 
Students pursuing a graduate program in art may earn a Master of Arts (MA), Master of Fine Arts (MFA), or a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Art. Degree titles vary by institution and academic program. Graduate students usually choose among a variety of degree concentrations in the field such as painting, sculpting, illustration, paint making, fashion design, interior design, ceramics, glass, textiles, wood, metal, art history, art therapy, media arts, art administration, decorative arts, museum studies, etc.

Occupations in Art: 
With a degree in art, consider professional opportunities as a painter, sculptor, illustrator, cartoonist, sketch artist, museum curator, graphic designer, web designer, advertising agent, package designer, design strategist, jewelry designer, glass maker, pottery craftsmen, filmmaker, character designer, 3-D animator, game designer, art therapist, and others.
