Accreditations
All programs in the Department of Art + Design are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.
Admission Requirements
Admission to the B. F. A. and B. A. programs is by application (usually at the end of the sophomore year), provided the student has met the following requirements:
- Completion of: ART 1340, ART 1350, ART 1045, ART 1360
- Completion of a Foundations Portfolio Review in which the faculty will vote based on the quality of the student’s work.
