Admission
to Bowling Green State University as an art major involves
both admission to the University as well as approval to
the School of Art through a portfolio review. Incoming
freshmen or transfer students from another BGSU department
or another university are required to present a portfolio
prior to registration as an art major. Several portfolio
review dates are scheduled during the year; these dates,
as well as more information pertaining to the portfolio
reviews can be found on the School of Art’s Web site:
http://www.bgsu.edu/departments/art/.
In addition to the initial portfolio, graphic design requires
an additional portfolio after completion of the foundation
classes and the introductory graphic design classes.

School of Art offers a bachelor of fine arts degree in
the areas of two-dimensional studies, three-dimensional
studies, art education 2-D, art education 3-D, digital
arts, and graphic design. Students may earn a bachelor
of arts degree in art and art history. Students in all
degree programs should consult with an art faculty adviser
