Advising
Obtaining an Art & Design Department Advisor
When you are accepted into the Department of Art and Design Department as a freshman, you are accepted as a BA (Bachelor of Arts) student. You must complete the Freshman Foundations courses in order to apply to a BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) degree program (i.e. visual communications or fine arts).
As a freshman in the art and design department, you are assigned a department faculty advisor. This person will be a professor from any of the degree programs throughout the department. When you contact your advisor as a freshman, be sure to indicate that you are a freshman in the art and design department, and be very comprehensive with your question.
Once you are accepted into a BFA degree program (visual communications or fine arts) the art and design office will assign a professor in the appropriate BFA degree program.
