| Objective | Insitute BFA Review | |
| Institute BFA Review for all BFA candidates. The
BFA Review is defined as follows:
Immediately after completing the six foundation art classes: Art 161, Art 163, Art 164, Art 265, Art 271, and Art 260 all BA art students will meet with an Art Advisor and sign up for the BFA Review. Students who do not sign up for the Review will be blocked from registering for upper division art classes.
Students interested in pursuing a BFA in Art will be required to participate in the BFA Review process. Those who choose to continue on the BA path should be reminded that the BA degree requires 4 semesters of a foreign language.
Reviews are conducted each semester by the Art Department faculty. Students who pass the BFA review will be invited into the BFA Program. Students who do not pass the Review will be given feedback on areas that need improvement. Those students will be directed to either reapply for a second review or remain in the BA program. Students are limited to two BFA applications. Those requesting a second review are advised to consult with faculty in their area of intended concentration concerning their progress and course of action.
