General Departmental Requirements
Admission Requirements
Before being admitted to a program, a student must satisfy the
requirements listed in the ACT/SAT Placement Information
section of this catalog (page 19).
Scholarships
A limited number of departmental scholarships, based upon
evidence of ability, quality of work, and/or need are available
each year. Contact the department for applications.
Transfer Students
The transfer student receives credit for art/design courses
completed at another college according to a routine evaluation
made by the Registrar's Office. Since a student's courses vary
greatly among schools, exact place in the ACU program can be
determined only after he or she has demonstrated, in actual
class work, an adequate level of performance commensurate
with current classification. Credit hours transferred toward a
degree in art or design shall not exceed one half of the credit
hours within the major. A minimum of 24 hours of the total
advanced hours in studio areas required for the BFA must be
done at ACU.
Art and Design Events
All art and design majors are required to attend art related
events each semester. These may include but are not restricted
to: gallery openings and receptions, artist lectures and
presentations, and visits to major museums and exhibitions.
Student Exhibitions
All art and design majors are required to prepare and submit
work for a senior show and enter all department sponsored
student competitions for which they are eligible.
Permanent Collection
The art/design faculty reserves the right to make selections
from current work each year to add to a permanent collection of
outstanding student work that is used in public exhibitions. All
work done as a part of class work by regularly enrolled students
is the property of the department until released, and the
department reserves the right to exhibit or to reproduce such
work in publications of the university.
Study Abroad Expectations
All art and design majors are expected and encouraged to
participate in ACU's Study Abroad program. Classes may be
offered in art appreciation, art history, special topics courses
and selected studio areas.
Course Availability
Students should be advised that some listed courses are not
offered every semester. Prior to the first class meeting, the
department reserves the right to remove non-art/design majors
from an art or design course that is full and needed by an
art/design major.
Audits
With department head approval, audits are allowed in studio
courses with no tuition discount. Audit fees for lecture courses
are one-half tuition.
Studio Time
For each studio course meeting 6 hours per week, the studentwill be expected to devote a minimum of three additional hours
of outside class time per week to class assignments.
Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree (BFA)
The BFA is a studio intense course of study designed for
students with a strong commitment to a professional future as
graphic designers, studio artists or artist/teachers. The student
may, according to his or her interests and career goals, select a
major concentration from the areas of graphic design, two-
dimensional studio (drawing, painting, illustration and
printmaking) or three-dimensional studio (sculpture, ceramics,
and jewelry/metals). Those who select the BFA degree plan are
expected to exhibit a high level of competence and motivation.
Post-graduate or graduate study should be a part of the future
plans of the student pursuing a career in art. Those with the
goal of becoming college studio art instructors should plan on
graduate study terminating in the Master of Fine Arts degree.
Admissions Requirements
Prior to admittance in a program, a student must satisfy the
requirements listed in the ACT/SAT Placement Information
section of this catalog (page 19).
