Creativity flourishes in a binational region that produces award-winning artists such as Alex Arrioja, Troy Michie and Adriana Corral. UTEP’s BFA in Studio Art allows future artists to choose from among seven concentrations: ceramics, drawing, graphic design, metals, painting, printmaking and sculpture.

Cassandra Adame, a first-generation college graduate, advises interested students to experience UTEP’s art studios before they pick a concentration. Her time at UTEP, which included a stint as a teaching assistant, helped grow her entrepreneurial and leadership skills that assist with her creative and business activities. She operates her own jewelry studio and teaches ceramics.
Students who earn a BFA in studio art open paths to further their craft or work in a variety of careers related to art.
