All students registering in a School of Art degree program enroll through the Katherine K. Herberger College of Fine Arts. Each degree program and area of specialization has its own check sheet, which describes the specific course sequence and special requirements. Check sheets are available online at art.asu.edu.

Art majors seeking a second BA or BFA degree in art must petition the Katherine K. Herberger College of Fine Arts after completing 12 semester hours in the specialization of the second degree. The second degree in art requires at least 30 semester hours of courses that meet art requirements in the major. These 30 semester hours should not duplicate any of the courses taken for the first degree.

Portfolio Reviews

Students who have been admitted to the School of Art before the fall semester of 2006 need to submit application materials, including a portfolio, for acceptance into upper division classes (300 and 400 levels) in the following programs: BA in Art with a concentration in digital art; BFA in art with concentrations in drawing, intermedia, painting, and photography. Eligibility for these programs requires a GPA of at least 2.70 overall and 3.00 for art classes. Portfolio deadlines are March 1 for acceptance into fall semester upper-division classes and October 1 for spring classes. Transfer students are encouraged to apply a semester before attending ASU. Students who have been admitted before the fall of 2006 must follow the course prerequisites and program requirements appropriate for their catalog year.

Preprofessional Programs

Effective fall semester 2006, all students applying to degree programs in the School of Art will be admitted to the preprofessional program without a concentration classification. Choices of concentrations include: art education, art history, ceramics, digital art, drawing, fibers, intermedia, metals, museum studies, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and studio art. Students remain in the preprofessional program until they have been accepted into a professional program concentration; eligibility is determined through a performance review.

Students pursuing studio concentrations must complete the following classes to prepare for acceptance into the professional program: ARS 101 and 102, ART 111, 112, 113, and 115. In addition, students must successfully complete 12 semester hours of the following 200-level studio classes: 2-D class, 3-D class, a course related to the concentration in which they are applying, and a studio elective class (3-D or 2-D). Students must complete the 200-level concentration class in the semester before the application is submitted. The application for acceptance into the professional program is submitted during the semester in which the 30 semester hours of preprofessional study is being completed. Students must maintain an overall GPA of 2.70 and an art GPA of 3.00. For deadlines and application procedures, access the Web site at art.asu.edu/undergraduate.

Students pursuing the art education concentration must complete the following classes to prepare for acceptance into the professional program: ARS 101 and 102, ART 111, 112, 113, and 115. In addition, students must successfully complete 12 semester hours of the following 200-level classes: 2-D class, 3-D class, ARE 250 (formerly ARE 450) with a grade of 3.00 or higher, and a studio elective class (3-D or 2-D). Students must complete ARE 250 the semester before the application is submitted. The application for acceptance into the professional program is submitted during the semester in which the 30 semester hours of preprofessional study is being completed. Students must maintain an overall GPA of 2.70 and an art of GPA 3.00. For deadlines and application procedures, access the Web site at art.asu.edu/undergraduate.

Students pursuing the art history or museum studies concentration must complete the following classes with grades of 3.00 or higher for acceptance into the professional program: ENG 101 and 102, ARS 101 and 102. Students must maintain a GPA of 3.00 for a minimum of 30 semester hours to be eligible for the professional program. Applicants should submit materials during the semester in which they are completing 30 semester hours.

It is recommended that transfer students who meet the above requirements apply the semester before they plan to attend the School of Art and by the March 1 or October 1 deadline. For specifics regarding application materials and criteria for acceptance into upper division professional programs, access the Web site at art.asu.edu/undergraduate

Students will be notified by mail and e-mail of their acceptance status. For students applying in the semester during which they are completing preprofessional requirements, the acceptance status of students will not be final until grades are posted.

Once students majoring in art have been accepted into the professional program for a concentration, the School of Art will add the concentration designation to the major, and they will be able to register for upper-division classes in the concentration to which they were admitted and into related upper-division classes within other concentrations in the major.

Denial of Acceptance into a Professional Program

Students who are not accepted through portfolio review will remain in the preprofessional program for a maximum of one year (two semesters following their first application to the professional program) with the following conditions:

 1. they will continue to work with school of art advisors,

 2. they will continue to take 100- or 200-level art courses appropriate for acceptance into a concentration,

 3. they may reapply to the same concentration no more than two times, once during each of the following semesters, and

 4. students who have not been accepted within a year of the first unsuccessful portfolio review will work with School of Art advisors to choose another major suited to their interests.

Appeals by applicants who are denied must be submitted as a petition to the School of Art Standards Committee within 30 days of the date of the e-mail and/or letter notifying students of their status regarding acceptance into the professional program.
