The purpose of the review is to assess artistic potential, to approve admission to the department, and to award departmental scholarships. Students who are denied admission in their initial attempt may apply a second time after successfully completing ART 195. In addition, a student should have completed at least six hours of studio work with at least six additional hours of studio classes in process.
