Undergraduate Medical Illustration (BFA)
Program Overview
By combining drawing and science, the Medical Illustration program will teach you to translate anatomical and surgical sketches into instructional illustrations to visually support the allied health and medical educational fields. The program spans the full range of artistic media to produce a wide variety of images. Through our collaboration with area hospitals, you will be able to obtain first-hand experience in real-life medical situations, in addition to your on-campus access to a state-of-the-art human anatomy laboratory. Computers and other digital technology are integrated into the studio environment to facilitate the creation of sophisticated images along with well-designed, interactive educational media displays. This program is one of a very few undergraduate medical illustration programs offered in the country that prepare you to join the medical team as an allied health professional.
