**No upper-division ARTF courses may be taken without successfully completing ARTF 24005. At the completion of the foundation sequence (ARTF 14000, 14001, 14022, 14055, 14060, 24010, 24040, ARTH 22006, 22007), Students register for ARTF 24005 and submit a portfolio of representative studio work selected from these courses to a fine arts faculty committee for review. An examination of knowledge of art history also will be included. Incoming transfer students are expected to provide examples of foundational coursework equivalent to School of Art requirements for sophomore review. The review is a proficiency examination and is diagnostic in nature. Action by the committee may include the assignment of additional studio work over the normal graduation requirements in areas of apparent deficiencies, or a recommendation that a student not continue in the BFA curriculum.

***Maximum 6 credit hours of ARTF 44092 Field Experience Travel Study Fine Art may be applied toward the 9 credit hours of upper-division ARTF electives. This course may not be applied toward the concentration hours. Students may apply this course toward fulfilling general electives, with no maximum credit hours required.

Students are required to plan and execute independently a senior project exhibition that is presented for review to a fine arts faculty committee. The senior project includes a written proposal and an artist’s statement. Students should work closely with a fine arts faculty advisor on all aspects of the senior project.
