BFA Graduation Requirements

BFA students are required to complete a total of 120 semester hour units (SHUs) to graduate. Of these, 76 SHUs must be in studio coursework. Within this requirement, students have the freedom to choose those courses that will best help them realize their artistic vision and voice. This process is a fluid and organic one, and will shift and change over the course of a student’s undergraduate experience.
