Admission to the areas of study in art studio and visual communication under the B.F.A. in art studio and design is limited. See “Limited Admissions and Limited Retention Requirements” in the Admission section of this catalog. 


Requirements for All Majors

Admission into the major in Art and Design Education (B.S.Ed.) or in Art Studio and Design specializations (B.F.A.) includes a portfolio review as indicated. No portfolio review is required for the major in Art (B.A. or B.S.) or Art History and Visual Studies (B.A.). Check departmental information for any additional requirements.

Recommendation

It is recommended that students confer regularly with their advisers in order to balance studio and general education requirements. In general, students will find it difficult to carry more than three art studio classes in one semester.

Transfer applicants for all emphases of the B.F.A. degree in art studio and design (Design and Media Arts, Art Studio), must pass a portfolio review. Contact the School of Art and Design as early as possible for information.

Additional Requirements and Course Information

The School of Art and Design reserves the right to retain for its collection any work produced in scheduled classes. Studio-lecture courses meet two hours per semester hour each week. Students in studio courses are required to schedule one hour per week in the studio (in addition to class time) for each semester hour.

Enrollment in one course for more than 6 hours per semester requires consent of the School of Art and Design.
