Art and Design Events
All art and design majors are required to attend art related events each
semester. These may include but are not restricted to: gallery openings
and receptions, artist lectures and presentations, and visits to major
museums and exhibitions.
Student Exhibitions
All art and design majors are required to prepare and submit work for
a senior show and enter all department sponsored student competitions
for which they are eligible.
Permanent Collection
The art/design faculty reserves the right to make selections from
current work each year to add to a permanent collection of outstanding
student work that is used in public exhibitions. All work done as a part
of class work by regularly enrolled students is the property of the
department until released, and the department reserves the right to
exhibit or to reproduce such work in publications of the university.
Study Abroad Expectations
All art and design majors are expected and encouraged to participate in
ACU's Study Abroad program. Classes may be offered in art
appreciation, art history, special topics courses and selected studio
areas.
Course Availability
Students should be advised that some listed courses are not offered
every semester. Prior to the first class meeting, the department reserves
the right to remove non-art/design majors from an art or design course
that is full and needed by an art/design major.
Audits
With department head approval, audits are allowed in studio courses
with no tuition discount. Audit fees for lecture courses are one-half
tuition.
Studio Time
For each studio course meeting 6 hours per week, the student will be
expected to devote a minimum of three additional hours of outside
class time per week to class assignments.
Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree (BFA)
The BFA is a studio intense course of study designed for students with
a strong commitment to a professional future as graphic designers,
studio artists or artist/teachers. The student may, according to his or
her interests and career goals, select a major concentration from the
areas of all-level teaching certification, graphic design, two-
dimensional studio (drawing, painting, illustration and printmaking) or
three-dimensional studio (sculpture, ceramics, and jewelry/metals).
Those who select the BFA degree plan are expected to exhibit a high
level of competence and motivation. Post-graduate or graduate study
should be a part of the future plans of the student pursuing a career in
art. Those with the goal of becoming college studio art instructors
should plan on graduate study terminating in the Master of Fine Arts
degree.
Admissions Requirements
Prior to admittance in a program, a student must satisfy the
requirements listed in the ACT/SA T Placement Information section of
