Use Grad MAPs to plan your degree

BFA Admission Requirements

All Art majors must first declare a Major in General Art (program of study - see Enrollment Services and Information ) with the department secretary. Once the five Foundation courses have been completed with a minimum grade of B- in each, students schedule a mandatory advising meeting with the department chair to declare their BFA major in one of the five studio areas of emphasis. After admittance, students plan their studio elective classes in consultation with the department chair and a faculty advisor from the chosen emphasis area.

Students who select the Art Education emphasis must satisfy the Teacher Education admission and licensure requirements (see Teacher Education department ).

General Education

Refer to Degree Requirements  for Bachelor of Fine Arts requirements. The following Foundation/elective courses will also fulfill general education requirements in the creative arts category: ARTH 1090  and ARTH 1100 .

Course Requirements for the BFA


Foundation Courses Required for All Art Majors (27 credit hours)


The following are required for all BS/BA/BFA majors and should be completed by the end of the sophomore year.

Studio Foundation courses are offered Fall and Spring semesters. Look for an “F” or a “Sp” at the end of Art History and advanced studio course titles to see when they are usually offered. An “e” or an “o” indicates that the course is offered only in even or odd years. Course offering schedules may change. Consult the current course schedule for the latest information. The 1000 level courses should be taken during the freshman year.

Required for 2D Media Emphasis (9 credit hours)


Note:


All undergraduate degrees include a requirement of a minimum 40 credits of Upper Division (3000- and 4000-level) coursework. When choosing Studio Focus electives, it is strongly recommended that students meet with an academic advisor to make sure they are on track to meet this requirement.

Studio Focus Courses


Choose 26 credit hours in consultation with your faculty adviser.

Notes:


Visual arts courses that are not being used to fulfill the major requirements (studio distribution, art-history) may fulfill electives credits.

*May be repeated twice for a total of 9 credit hours.
