What exactly is the B.F.A. Portfolio Review?
The B.F.A. Portfolio Review is a review of your artwork that takes place during the spring semester of your sophomore year. The review acts as the gateway into the B.F.A program. The portfolio consists of artwork from the Foundations-level studio classes (Art 101, Art 102, Art 103 and Art 104), plus work from two 200-level art classes of your choosing, and is reviewed by a team of department faculty members. You must have a minimum Art GPA of 2.67, and your portfolio must demonstrate that your work meets the standards of the B.F.A. program before you are allowed into the B.F.A. major. If you are not successful in passing the B.F.A. Portfolio Review, you may remain in the art program as a B.A. major.
