Applying to the Studio Arts Major

Formal application for admission to a major or minor in art should be made upon completion of the specified freshman drawing and design course sequences.

In the case of a transfer student with class status beyond the sophomore level, application to the art major or art minor can be made after the confirmation of successful completion of equivalent drawing and design course sequences. At the time of application the student must:

1. Designate her or his intention to pursue studies as an art major in either studio arts or visual communication, or as an art minor in studio arts;

2. Submit portfolio for review; and

3. must have a minimum 2.5 GPA in art courses.

All senior art majors, as a condition of graduation, are required to participate in the Senior Exhibition. The exhibition is held during the last four weeks of Spring Quarter. Senior art majors must also, as a condition of graduation, provide the Art Department with a comprehensive photographic portfolio of work completed during their studies. The slides will be retained by the Art Department as part of the department slide library.
