Students must complete the Art courses indicated for the first two years with a minimum 3.0 grade point average in Art to remain candidates for the BFA degree. Students whose Art grade point average falls below 3.0 will become candidates for the BA degree. Candidates for the BFA degree must maintain a 3.0 grade point average in Art including all residence and transferred work. BFA students must participate in a senior exhibition the semester of graduation, and submit a Vita and slides or portfolio of their work. The student and advisor establish which electives will be taken for the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art degree.

Art electives in the BFA curriculum may be chosen from all 400 level studio art courses. All 400 level art courses may be repeated for credit except Art History courses, Graphic Design Courses and ART 494.

Not all art courses are offered each semester. Consult the Schedule of Classes and your advisor before registration. A student considering graduate school after completing the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art degree should take 15 to 18 semester credit hours in the area of specialization: Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Sculpture, Ceramics, or Jewelry. BFA Studio Art students are encouraged to minor in Art History by taking two additional Advanced Art History courses.
