Art, Studio (BFA)

ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer 2024 and after)

*Please Note: Face-to-face/in-person instruction of this program is available ONLY at the main campus in Tallahassee, FL. This program is NOT available via Online/Distance Learning.*

This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The General Education and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area and diversity requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Off-track) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.

The BFA in Studio Art is a Specialized Admission/Limited Enrollment program. Admission is highly selective. Separate applications must be made to The Florida State University Office of Admissions and to the Department of Art.

A BFA in Studio Art offers opportunities for creative development and expression, providing instruction in the skills necessary for artistic creation and for an understanding of contemporary issues. Major media concentrations may include drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, and photography.
