Curriculum

BFA, Studio Art/MA, Teaching Art, All Grades Dual Degree

144 Credits Total Required

Liberal Arts Requirements, 42 Credits.
Undergraduate Requirements, 86 Credits.
Graduate Requirements, 16 Credits.

Dual-degree students will complete core requirements for both the bachelor's and master's programs, and will save up to 19 credits by taking 2-6 graduate level courses that can be counted for both degrees.

The following graduate-level courses can apply to both degrees because they can be double-counted as unrestricted electives in the Undergraduate BFA program. These classes can be taken during Junior or Senior years but there is flexibility in the total number of courses and credits achieved before applying for the MA degree. A minimum of 2 courses (6 credits) should be taken as an undergraduate student, and the course ‘ARTED-GE 2015 Race, Education, and the Politics of Visual Representation’ is a prerequisite for application to the MA degree. The MA application deadline is February 1 during the senior year of the BFA degree. BFA students should discuss how many graduate level classes they are able to take during their undergraduate degree with their academic advisor.
