Completion of the following recommended courses does not guarantee admission as an art major with junior standing at the transfer institution. A
competitive GPA and a quality portfolio are also essential. Due to the AFA degree's heavy emphasis on studio art and art foundation courses, upon
acceptance, the AFA student should expect to complete further general education courses at the baccalaureate institution in addition to the major-area
coursework. Students are strongly advised to select and plan courses in collaboration with their Art Department advisor, and to contact the intended
transfer institution to determine required coursework as early as possible.
