Policies

Facilities

The Department of Art & Art History studios and classrooms are located in two facilities:

The Fine Arts Building at 502 S. Cooper Street houses Art History, Cinematic Arts, Photography, Design, Animation, Drawing, 2-D Design, 3-D Design as well as the Digital Design foundation classes. Also included are Departmental Offices, The Gallery at UT Arlington and the Visual Resources Commons.

The Studio Arts Center at 810 S. Davis Street houses the following studios: Clay, Glass, Painting, Printmaking, Neon and Sculpture. It is also the site of Gallery West, a student-run exhibition space.

Student Concentration Portfolio Review

The student concentration portfolio review is a method of assessing each art student's progress and their preparedness to enter advanced classes in the BFA program. The review will be able to recommend either acceptance into the BFA program (a pre-professional program) or placement into the BA degree (a more general program).

Transfer and new students would be allowed to register for the BFA/BA as "Art intended." Those students designated as "Art" would be scheduled by the Art Advising Office into a set calendar of entrance reviews, by panels of appropriate faculty members.

As 21 and 36 studio class hours are achieved, each potential BFA/BA student will be reviewed by appropriate faculty (not by a standing committee). At 21 hours, the review would have the purpose of "entrance" into the BFA/BA programs.

For more information concerning the student concentration portfolio review, visit here or contact the Art and Art History advisor.
