The special studies in art program leads to the B.F.A. degree and is designed expressly for interdisciplinary study. The program is not automatically available; it must be mutually approved by the advisors in the various areas incorporated into the program. All applicants must undergo a personal interview and a portfolio review. In addition, a written proposal for the complete program of study is required, including specific courses and credits. Students are expected to complete the foundation program, and sophomores must have a 3.0 cumulative grade point average and a portfolio of superior caliber to be accepted. The decision to enroll in the special studies program must be made before the student accumulates 60 credits.
