Foundation Portfolio Review Information for BFA Students
After completing the core art requirements for the BFA program (or during the semester taken of the last required core classes), apply for the Foundation Portfolio Review.
All students who have transferred in one or more of the foundation courses will need to supply work for that course during your Portfolio Review. (Keep your work!)

What to Remember:
Foundation Portfolio Review is the determining factor in your being accepted into the BFA degree program. Students cannot take any upper level courses that lead to a concentration in the BFA program without undergoing the Review.
You may apply for more than one area when you go through the Review. If you are not accepted the first time, you are allowed to apply twice to any given area.
