University of Lethbridge offers new BFA

The Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Lethbridge has launched a new degree program with a focus on Native American Art: the Bachelor of Fine Arts (Native American Art). It is one of only three such programs in Canada and reflects the importance of Aboriginal art and culture in this region and across North America. Developed in collaboration by the Department of Art and the Department of Native American Studies, the new BFA (Native American Art) program offers students majors in Art Studio or Art History/ Museum Studies with an emphasis on Native American art and culture. The program accepted its first students this fall.
