Additional Information
The BFA program sample includes 15.0 credits of General Education electives and 6.0 credits of Open Electives. When applicable, Art Education credits may also fulfill General Education Elective and Open Elective requirements within studio majors. Studio major requirements, transfer credit, and other shared-credit arrangements may affect how credits are applied toward standard degree requirements.
Important! Students considering a pathway (minor, specialization, or other academic program add-on) should meet with their academic advisor and the Financial Aid Office to review degree requirements, potential impacts on time to degree completion; and to understand how additional coursework (outside of the primary degree requirements) may affect financial aid eligibility and satisfactory academic progress.
