The School of Art and Design offers bachelor of fine arts degrees
in art education, crafts, graphic design, the history of art, industrial
design, painting, photography, and sculpture. The first year or "foundation" year is common to all curricula. Specialization begins in the second
year.
All first-year
students will be admitted to the general curriculum in art and design.
After completing one year in the general program, a student must select
one of the more specialized art and design curricula.
Courses in the history and appreciation of art and certain courses
in studio work are open to students from other colleges of the University.
A field of concentration in art history is also offered in the College
of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The school occupies studios,
computing labs, workshops, classrooms, and offices in several different University
buildings.
Requirements
Portfolio and Minimum Grade Requirements
A portfolio review is required both for admission to the foundation year and for placement in any art and design
course beyond the foundation level. After completing
the foundation year, students must apply for admission to one of the bachelor
of fine arts (BFA) degree curricula.
Foreign Language Requirement
Students entering the University of Illinois as freshmen in Fall 2000
or later need to complete the foreign language requirement in order
to graduate. To satisfy this requirement, students must complete a
third level college foreign language course. This requirement may
also be satisfied by three years of the same foreign language in high
school. Students entering the University of Illinois without three
years of the same foreign language in high school must take a foreign
language placement test to determine the courses in which to enroll.
