Entrance to the electronic arts program is selective. You must complete two of the pre-admission foundation courses (ART 110, MED 365, MUS 216) and one pre-admission core course (ART 210, ART 230, MED 361) with a B or better average before making a portfolio application. One of the foundation courses taken prior to applying must be MUS 216. The portfolio consists of two-to-three examples of your best work in the discipline to which you are applying, several short essays and an interview.
A minimum of 120 credit hours (with 40 hours of upper division coursework at a 300+ course level) is required to graduate.
Periodicity of many classes is important, with many scheduled as fall- or spring-only classes (F/S). Check the class schedule.
This schedule is only one example of a possible degree plan. Please meet with your advisor early in your first semester to discuss possible variations of your own degree plan.
