To pursue a bachelor’s degree with a major in art involves a selection process that requires the submission of both the university application and art program application. Applicants are screened based on a review of academic records and a portfolio of original artwork.

All students admitted to the Department of Art complete a common first-year program of study comprised of required courses drawing, design, computer art, and art history.

To begin the process of being considered for admission to an art program:

• Applicants must complete and submit both the application for undergraduate admission to Ball State and art program application. If online, indicate art as the intended major and the application request form will appear.

• After submitting the application to Ball State and the application request form, the Department of Art will mail a comprehensive admission packet to your home address.

• Before final acceptance into the art program, applicants must first be admitted to the University.

• Applicants considering a major in art are encouraged to apply early in order to meet the deadlines for admission and scholarship consideration.

In the art program application, applicants must submit/complete the following:

• Portfolio of work. 5—10 works for regular admission (10—15 if applying for scholarship).

• Three drawings from direct observation must be included as part of your portfolio.

• To be considered for art scholarships requires the submission of both the art program application and scholarship application. Applicants will be asked to respond to an essay question and submit a resume, recommendation form, inventory sheet, and portfolio submitted on a CD as a PowerPoint presentation.

Admission Criteria

1. A review of academic records from high school transcripts.*

2. SAT and/or ACT composite scores.

3. Portfolio of 5-10 works of art demonstrating studio art skills and other art-related abilities.

*Transcripts submitted to Ball State Office of Admissions will be reviewed as part of the scholarship and art application.
