Southwest School of Art to Offer Texas’ only BFA Degree from Independent Art Institution

The Southwest School of Art, San Antonio’s large community art school, has announced that it will develop a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree program, making it the only independent, degree-granting art school in Texas.  The first BFA students are expected on campus in fall, 2013.

As a non-profit, independent art school, the Southwest School of Art will offer one four-year degree – a Bachelor of Fine Arts – and will attract students who are focused on becoming working artists. Students will receive an intense grounding in studio practice and art making, as well as art history, critical thinking, general studies, and business skills.
