Specialized Admissions Requirements for the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Art
All applicants must meet University minimum admission requirements. Candidates for the BFA in Art will be required to submit electronically a portfolio of their works with a short statement. A departmental committee will review the portfolios. The focus of the review will be on quality work, technical ability, and consistency. Currently, the CARTA departments utilize the SlideRoom service for the portfolio submissions. See the Art and Art History Department website for further information.
Academic Progression Requirements
Students must complete the five foundation courses (15 credits) in two attempts or fewer. These courses include ART1201C, ART1203C, ART2300C, ART2330C, and course. Drops after the add/drop period, which result in a DR grade, are considered an attempt in the course and count as an unsuccessful enrollment. A minimum GPA of 2.75 or greater is required for all studio courses (denoted with a C in their course number). Students who do not satisfy these requirements will be advised to change major to other degrees such as ARTHST:BA or INTSTUD:BA.
