ARST-BFA - Art

Students wishing to transfer to the B.A. or B.F.A. degree program from another university must also be accepted by portfolio review and meet University transfer admission criteria prior to admission to study.

Students who were not dually admitted prior to matriculation but wish to major in Art must seek admission to the Division of Art by completing an Art application at https://www.smu.edu/meadows/areasofstudy/art/undergraduatestudies/admissions.

These students are strongly encouraged to enroll in elective Art courses (introductory level courses) prior to Art’s consideration of their application portfolio.

All students who apply for dual admission by the deadline to the University and to the B.A. in Art or B.F.A. degree program are considered for artistic scholarships based on artistic merit. Continuing scholarships are reviewed each year based on satisfactory progress toward the degree. To receive an award for artistic merit, students must submit either a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (www.studentaid.gov) or a waiver, and a CSS/Profile (www.collegeboard.com).
