Graduates of fine arts degree and certificate programs have spent many hours learning the history and practical skills of their craft. Fine arts programs put an emphasis on studio time, which means students spend their class hours producing works in their particular fine arts area, whether it be painting, photography, film, or another area. Bachelor's programs in fine arts usually have optional thesis components, while master's programs require the thesis. In a fine arts thesis, students work for a year or more on a piece of artistic work that showcases what they have learned in the degree. Fine arts degrees can be good preparation for careers as a practicing artist, designer, gallery worker, or arts teacher.
