Admission Requirements
Freshman and transfer students are admitted to pre-major status before admission to this major. To qualify for this program, pre-art students must pass a portfolio review (ART 0902) after completing a minimum of 15 art studio credits selected from the required pre-art core requirements and studio electives. Additionally, students must have a minimum 2.00 GPA overall in art and design courses. The review is scheduled for fall and spring semesters and occurs approximately midway through the semester. Students must submit a portfolio of selected work derived from their art core courses. Portfolios are reviewed by studio art faculty. Specific guidelines for preparation of the portfolio contents and dates for review are distributed at the beginning of each semester.
