Foundations is a first-year course predicated on generating a rigorous studio practice through comprehensive teaching 哲学 that engages a broad range of questions, 跨越和超越艺术学科. 个别学生将自己的经验和技能带入同龄人的社区. 绘画是基础课程的重要组成部分.

除了第一年的基础课程之外, students complete 6 credits of art history by taking three 2-credit courses in non-western art, 古代到巴洛克艺术, 从现代到当代艺术. 一年级学生还要完成写作和人文学科的学术要求.

The sophomore curriculum is designed to enhance and further develop the studio experience of the Foundations year with the introduction to specific studio areas, 所有这些都支持“高科技”, “高品质”的办学理念. The curriculum encourages study of studio disciplines represented across each of four Divisions - Ceramic 艺术; Expanded Media; Painting, Drawing and Photography; and Sculpture/Dimensional Studies. 绘画是大二和大三课程的重要组成部分.

Sophomore students learn fundamental skills necessary in the development of an artistic practice. 这些包括理解的意识和能力, 使用和集成流程, 工具, 材料, 和词汇. 在这一年里，学生们选择了四个工作室, 每科一人, 或者选择三个部门的四个工作室. 这允许那些想要专注于特定媒介的人这样做, 同时让其他人有更多样化的工作室体验. Both options are meant to prepare students for the challenges of the junior and senior curriculum.

大二的艺术史要求, 当代艺术中的问题和争论, 为工作室体验提供了一个刺激和综合的环境. Students also extend the breath of their academic experience by choosing elective courses from other schools and colleges at Alfred University.

Students entering the junior year have the latitude to define their interests and creative goals. 学生自然会变得更加专注, integrating conceptual and technical skills while developing a personal vision in their art making. 在初级阶段, academic and elective course work fosters interest in cross-disciplinary practice and undergraduate research possibilities.

The junior year is also the time for students to take advantage of study abroad opportunities. The 艺术与设计学院 has several exchange programs including agreements with the University for the Creative 艺术 at Farnham, 英格兰, 爱丁堡艺术学院 在苏格兰, 科布伦茨应用科技大学 在德国，中国北京的中央美术学院，和 悉尼艺术学院 和 新南威尔士大学 在澳大利亚. 这幅图, Painting and Photography Division offers a summer program through the Santa Reparata International 艺术学院 in Florence, 意大利.

BFA学位的高潮是 毕业论文展览.

在学年的最后两周, the 艺术与设计学院 is transformed into quality exhibition space where graduating seniors display their thesis work. The opening celebration of Senior Shows includes families and numerous guests from throughout Western New York State. 在开幕式之后, 学生们回到他们的展览空间，接受最后的评审和教师的批评. The momentum gained during the senior year prepares graduates to enter the work force as highly accomplished and motivated artists and designers.
