Permanent Collection
The art/design faculty reserves the right to make selections from

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.

ACU's Study Abroad program. Classes may be offered in art
appreciation, art history, special topics courses and selected studio
areas.

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.

With department head approval, audits are allowed in studio courses
with no tuition discount. Standard audit fees apply for lecture courses.

Studio Time
For each studio course meeting 6 hours per week, the student will 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 all-level teaching certification, 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.
