Students receiving their BA from UCI’s Art Department pursue a number of paths.  Some pursue advanced degrees including MFAs in Fine Art, MFAs in Graphic Design and MAs in Arts Education.  Others go on to work in arts education, arts administration, fine art studios, and a variety of other fields where creative critical thinking is valued.  Arts and culture production currently represent 7% of California’s GDP, and we encourage our students to pursue careers in a broad range of creative fields.
