PORTFOLIO REQUIREMENTS. Freshman or transfer students who want to apply to the Bachelor of Fine Arts program must submit a portfolio directly to the School of Art to be evaluated. If you are a non-art major or do not have a portfolio, you can complete three basic courses designed to build a portfolio. If you are admitted to the School of Art, the courses will count for credit.]
