Art is a highly stimulating, competitive, and rewarding field.
It offers a variety of opportunities for qualified and assertive individuals, including positions in fine art, illustration, and art education. The B.A. degree in Fine Art is looked on as a prerequisite for entrance into a Master of Fine Arts program of study. The M.F.A. degree is in turn required for most college teaching positions in fine art and is recommended for the developing profession in the fine arts. Adventist colleges and universities regularly hire graduates in fine art to teach courses in art. The highly motivated individual may establish a career as a self-employed professional.
