Overview

Major in Art
Maria Manetti Shrem Art Studio Program

The undergraduate major in studio art at UC Davis leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree. Our two-year graduate program leads to a Master of Fine Arts degree. Students benefit from a dedicated faculty with expertise in many areas of the visual arts. Art Studio Faculty deliver a broad range of studio courses providing hands-on practice to the art student. Areas of focus include painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, ceramics, printmaking, and time-based media.

Faculty and staff advisers provide individual academic guidance to students. A dedicated technical staff supports our teaching labs and studios. More information on our facilities can be found under Resources. Contact information can be found in the Directory.

The Maria Manetti Shrem Art Studio Program also offers numerous public lecture that further our academic mission: The Visiting Artist Lecture Series, The Betty Jean and Wayne Thiebaud Lecture in the Theory, Practice and Criticism of Painting, Drawing and Sculpture, and The California Studio. Learn more about these programs and events, as well as the current activities of our faculty and students on our News and Events pages.
