Remember, that CAR is the determining factor in your being accepted into the B.F.A degree program. Students cannot take any upper level courses that lead to a concentration in the BFA program without undergoing C.A.R. You apply to C.A.R the semester you are enrolled in the final group of your core classes, typically 4th semester in the program.
You may apply for more than one area when you go through CAR and you are allowed to apply twice to any given area.
