Students need to complete 120 credits (except for certain Art Education tracks) and to meet departmental/concentration requirements for the BFA degree.

Students may not register for senior-level studio courses until they have completed all freshman and sophomore requirements.

Only students who have met all requirements for graduation may participate in the commencement ceremonies. The college assumes that students will pass the final semester's courses. Therefore, particpation in commencement does not guarantee graduation. Students must pass courses in their last semester that are needed for graduation.

Diplomas are typically mailed from the Registrar's Office by the end of the summer.

Departmental Honors

Students whose work is judged exceptional in their departments are awarded Departmental Honors upon graduation.

Graduation with Distinction

Graduation with Distinction is conferred upon graduates with outstanding achievement in course work across all departments. Students nominated must have received at least six honors grades, one of which must be in a Critical Studies course and one of which must be in the student's concentration.
