Progression and Graduation Requirements
Portfolio Review
All art majors are required to submit their work for a review by all full-time Department of Art and Design faculty after the completion of the following courses: ART 1211 , ART 1520 , ART 1530 and 12 additional hours of studio art courses (21 hours total). Portfolio reviews are scheduled at the end of the fall and spring semesters. Passing the portfolio review is a prerequisite for ART 4999 which is a graduation requirement. Portfolio review occurs on the day after the last day of class of the fall and spring semesters. Transfer students must meet this requirement with the provision that a minimum of three hours be done while in residency at the university and that the transfer courses for the remaining 18 hours be equivalent to the required courses listed above. Each student should submit a minimum of 15 studio works. These are to include both two-dimensional and three-dimensional works. See the Department of Art and Design for specific portfolio requirements.
Professional Practice
The BFA degree candidate is required to pass ART 4999 to graduate. The work for this exhibition must be accepted and judged by a full-time Department of Art and Design faculty mentor and ART 4999 instructor as demonstrating significant quality and quantity to warrant the earning of the BFA degree.
