Note: Students may use elective credit to gain additional depth in a second studio major.
Notes: In order for students to continue in the BFA visual arts program, a minimum average of 70% in visual arts courses must be maintained after the completion of the second semester in the program.
At the end of the second year, or after completing 36 hours of Visual Arts courses (including studio and art history courses), BFA students are required to have a review. This review is for the purpose of evaluating students’ progress in the BFA program.
Art 300- and 400-level courses are 6 credit hours each. Visual Arts majors in the BA program who wish to apply into the BFA must do so before taking a 400-level course in the major.
BFA students must take four consecutive semesters of study in the major.
BFA students must have a pre-exhibition review after completion of two 400-level courses in the major. Students must complete all required 200-level courses in studio before taking a 300-level studio course and all 200-level required courses in art history before a 300-level course is taken.
Art History courses must be taken concurrently with studio courses each semester.
END OF THE SEMESTER REVIEW: Each student who is enrolled in a 400-level studio course is required to have an end of semester review. This review of studio production is also a prerequisite for Art 400 and Art 401, which is necessary for BFA graduation. Reviews take place during exam week each semester. Students are responsible for signing up. The reviews are 15 minutes each and usually have a minimum of three faculty members participating. |
