and application procedures which must be satisfied by the application.

Evaluation and Acceptance:
The applicant's materials, listed above, will be evaluated by the faculty
of the applicant's media concentration. Greatest emphasis is placed on
the quality of the applicant's portfolio. Notification of Departmental
action will be sent, along with Graduate School results, as soon after
this evaluation as possible.
Transfers:
The School will consider transfer graduate students with the same procedures
as outlined above. Specific regulations of the Graduate School limit the
number of credits which will be accepted. The School of Art will not necessarily,
and seldom does, accept this maximum. Actual credit hours to be applied
to the degree will be determined by the Graduate Committee and area faculty
in which the student has applied.
