Evaluation and Acceptance:
The applicant's materials 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 a decision 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.
