*Students
may become pre-graphic design candidates at any time during
their academic program. Following art foundations (ART
102, 103, 112), pre-majors will take ARTD
115,
201, and 202.
At the conclusion of the ARTD 202 course, all pre-graphic
design candidates will take part in the design portfolio
review process (scheduled each semester) in order to be
admitted into the graphic design major. Accepted students
then continue with the necessary course requirements to
complete the B.F.A. degree in graphic design. All transfer
students will be designated as pre-graphic design candidates
and must complete the portfolio review to be accepted
into the graphic design major.

Upon
completion of the baccalaureate degree, students are expected
to:
- Examine
the relationship and influence of the visual arts in
social, historical, cultural, and aesthetic contexts;
- Demonstrate
proficiency in technical, conceptual, and critical abilities
within studio media;
- Plan
and teach art curricula, based on theories of child
development and first-hand experience with individual

the breadth of art, and the goals of a general education;
- Demonstrate
critical and reflective thinking, oral and written communication
abilities, and management skills; and

In
addition to the BFA course requirements, the BFA Art Education
majors are required to complete a specialization in either
2D Studies or 3D Studies. A student interested in Digital
Arts or Graphic Design may work with an art education
adviser and a studio adviser to complete the necessary
requirements for both areas. An Art Education major who
has completed the degree program is eligible for multi-age
(ages 3-21, preschool through grade 12) visual art licensure,
providing that they have an accumulative 2.5 GPA and have
successfully completed the Praxis II Examination. A degree
can be completed in 8 semesters if the student also enrolls
in summer school classes, or the student may elect to
fulfill the requirements over 9 semesters. Graduates may
also become employed in museum education and community
arts programs.
Students
are considered pre-BFA Art Education majors until they
have met the requirements for a BFA Art Education major.
In order to become an art education major, students must
fulfill the following prerequisites:
- complete
at least 45 semester hours at BGSU (transfer students
must complete at least 15 of the 45 semester hours at
BGSU) with an overall GPA of 2.85;
