Administered by the Department of Art and Design and leading to a 120.5 credit undergraduate Bachelor of Arts degree including a 29.5 credit pre-professional program (college core).
This curriculum offers two concentrations: Art and Culture, and Art and Design History and Theory. Both concentrations are combined with an applied career minor or approved program.
Consideration for admission into the B.A. curriculum is based upon department resources, GPA earned in the college Core Courses and the freshman year.
Transfer students with studio credits from other programs, colleges and universities must present for department review a portfolio of work done in those courses in order to have the credits apply toward studio requirements. Students are required to present this portfolio upon admission and prior to registration for classes. Arrangements for this process must be made with department advisers.
