Policies
Major programs are offered by the Department of Art and Graphic Design in two baccalaureate degree areas, the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Fine Arts. The Bachelor of Arts degree is a liberal arts program offered in Graphic Design or Art with three emphasis options: studio, art history or art education (teaching). The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree is a professional program with an intensive studio emphasis.
It is possible for students to earn both the B.F.A. degree along with the B.A. in Art-Art History emphasis or the B.A. in Art Education-Teaching. However, a double major in Art-Studio Emphasis and Graphic Design is not possible. Likewise, it is not possible to earn both the B.F.A. and a B.A. in either Art-Studio Emphasis or Graphic Design.
No grade of less than C- shall satisfy any art major or minor degree requirement whether taken at UNI or transferred from another institution. For all studio courses in the Department of Art and Graphic Design programs the ratio of student work hours to credit hours is 3:1. Therefore, additional work is required outside the regular class meeting times.
Courses in the Department of Art and Graphic Design require specialized materials, some of which are provided through art lab fees.
