Art
Illinois colleges and universities offer two different bachelor's degrees in Art:
the professional Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A) degree and the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)
degree with a major in Art. In general, because the B.F.A. degree prepares students
for graduate school, it requires 70 or more semester credits in Art, while the B.A.
degree (major in Art) requires about 40 to 50 semester credits in Art. At some schools,
a B.A. degree requires competency in a foreign language, while the B.F.A. degree
does not.
To transfer as a junior into either a B.F.A. program or B.A. program with a major
in Art, students should select one of the options below in consultation with an
Art department advisor. Most schools require a portfolio review
for admission to a B.F.A. program, for registration in a second studio course in
a medium and/or for scholarship consideration.
Be sure to consult the institution you plan on transferring to for course articulations.
