Transfer students
Transfer students are admitted into specific majors only. Art portfolios are used as an aid in the evaluation of students' previous work if submitted for transfer credit. Transfer students selecting a major with program options—such as Art + Design—will be required to select an option when accepted. Acceptance into advanced courses is not automatic. Transfer students who wish to be admitted into courses above the sophomore level must bring a portfolio to transfer orientation.
