The BFA is a separate degree with an emphasis on one studio area. This program is designed to meet the needs of exceptional students who desire intensive studio experience within the context of the liberal arts. Applicants must have demonstrated superior ability and motivation in a particular studio discipline. Students usually begin their work in the BA, then apply for the BFA in their area of concentration in their sophomore or junior year. Prospective BFA students participate in an interview and application process that is conducted by the heads of the studio area that will be their area concentration. Students should contact faculty in the specific studio area to find out more about that area’s application process and deadlines. Applications are not usually considered until students have had at least two studio courses on the Bloomington campus. For all studio areas, the basic requirements are identical to the BA in Studio Art, except that for the BFA, 62 credit hours of studio are required, instead of the 33 for the BA. This amounts to two to four semesters of additional study depending on the area and the students previous achievement progress.

How to pay for a college education is one of the most important decisions a student and their family can make. MIAD is committed to helping each family make decisions which are correct for them.

Our Financial Aid Office is a resource for the information and assistance you may need. Staff members work closely with each student in developing a successful financial plan that will allow access to a MIAD education.

The primary responsibility to pay college expenses rests with the student and the student’s family to the extent they are determined able to do so through the analysis of their family’s financial strength. This process, called “need analysis”, includes consideration of family income and assets, number of children in college, and if appropriate, special circumstances. MIAD financial aid works to fill in the difference between your educational costs and what the need analysis determines you and your family can pay towards those costs. Financial aid is meant to supplement a family’s own resources; it is not intended to fund the entire cost of education.
