Art B.F.A.
Admission Requirements
Students wanting to pursue the B.F.A. degree program of study must, within the first nine hours of course work at UT Tyler, submit a portfolio to the Faculty Review Committee. Students who transfer with accepted credit hours of studio and want to pursue the B.F.A. degree program of study must, within the first semester of studio work at UT Tyler, submit a portfolio review to the Faculty Review Committee. Upon approval from the Faculty Review Committee, students will be admitted and may complete a B.F.A. degree plan with an undergraduate art advisor. If the student is denied entry into the B.F.A. degree program, they will be put on probationary status and may submit another portfolio the following semester. The portfolio reviews are conducted in the last month of each semester (December and April). The Faculty Review Committee, upon request from the student, may waive the review process. (Note: If, after two portfolio reviews, the student is not admitted to the B.F.A. degree program, course work done after the 18-hour review will not apply toward the B.F.A. in Art degree.)
