Graphic Design Selective Admissions Entrance Requirements

Students wishing to major in Graphic Design are required to apply for admission into the Junior (3rd) year of the program. Freshman and sophomore year, or “Pre-Graphic Design,” remains open to all who wish to enroll. Entrance into the Junior (3 ^rd) year of the program, or the “Graphic Design Program,”  is determined by the Graphic Design Selective Admissions Committee. Admission to the program is limited to those students who have satisfied the specific course requirements (ART 1000, 1110, 1111, 2000, 2050, 2500, 2560, 2601, 2602, 2910, 2920, and ENG 1001G and 1002G), have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.25 for all coursework, and a minimum GPA of 2.75 for all Art coursework, and submit an art and design portfolio. The art and design portfolio will be reviewed and ranked by the Graphic Design Selective Admissions Committee. Admission into the program is based on a comparative scoring system of performance in the above requirements (cumulative GPA, Art GPA, completion of required coursework, art and design portfolio).

Exceptions to these requirements can be made only in response to written requests and the subsequent review and recommendation of the Graphic Design Selective Admissions Committee.
