Submission Guidelines

Students can apply to be accepted into the BFA program once they have earned 45 credit hours. Students must submit a brief document stating their intention to apply for the BFA along with their projected future goals. They will then participate in an advising session and a portfolio of their work will be reviewed which should include examples of all work completed to date. This will be conducted by the coordinators of the Animation Program along with invited faculty from the Film & Video Department.
