Visual Art Emphasis Illinois colleges and universities offer two different bachelor's degrees in art: the professional Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) degree and the Bachelors of Arts (B.A.) degree with a major in art. In general, the B.F. A. degree requires about 135 semester credits for completion, while the B.A. degree with a major in art requires 120 to 124 semester credits for completion. The B.F.A. degree generally requires more studio art courses than does the B.A. degree. In some colleges and universities, a B.A. degree requires competency in a foreign language, while the B.F.A. degree often does not.
