The Art B.F.A. program with Art Education Emphasis is eligible for students who want to participate in an Eight-Semester Degree Program. However, the Art B.F.A. program requires application and acceptance to the program after the third semester. Students are not guaranteed admittance. The plan below lists a semester-by-semester sequence of courses to finish the degree in eight semesters.
Core areas a, b, c, d, e, f, and g referred to in the eight-semester plan can be found in the Additional Fulbright College B.F.A. Core Requirement Areas at the bottom of this page. Core requirement hours may vary by individual, based on placement and previous credit granted. Once all core requirements are met, students may substitute a three-hour (or more) general elective in place of a core area.
