Document:
The Department of Art’s primary undergraduate responsibilities include educating professional artists with concentrations in Fine Arts, Graphic Design, and Photography; preparing students for a career or advanced study; offering courses that fulfill University requirements; and providing an active art gallery to serve the University, the community, and region.
The Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) degree is a professional studio degree. The B.F.A. degree is earned after successful completion of an intensive, 4 year program that provides the student with a series of in-depth studio experiences leading to thesis/senior presentation balanced by studies in humanities, communication, mathematics, and sciences.
The B.F.A. degree may also serve as a preparation for graduate studies-usually the Master of Fine Arts degree in studio art or design.
Art-Undeclared (UART) - All students desiring to major in art will be admitted into Art-Undeclared in the Department of Art at Mississippi State University. Students will declare their concentration following successful passage of the Foundation Portfolio Review in that concentration.
In the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, a student may choose a concentration from the following: Fine Arts, Graphic Design, and Photography.
After successful admission to the University, and before applying for the Foundation Portfolio Review, transfer students must submit work to the Transfer Portfolio Review so to articulate art studio and history credits. This review requires the presentation of a comprehensive portfolio of artwork completed in studio courses, as well as course descriptions (and in some cases, syllabi) from classes completed for credit at other institutions. This review takes place before the preregistration advising period each semester. The MSU Department of Art reserves the right to deny or accept transfer courses as applicable to the B.F.A. degree based on portfolio evaluation.
All Art majors are required to participate in the Foundation Portfolio Review.
For students interested in the Fine Arts concentration (Ceramics, Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, and Sculpture), the Foundation Portfolio Review will take place in the spring semester of each year. The review is a faculty evaluation of student work from a minimum of 18 credit hours completed in the following courses: Drawing I, Drawing II, Design I, Design II, 3-D Design, and Introduction to Computing for Art. The Foundation Portfolio Review will result in an "accept" or "deny" into the Fine Arts concentration.
For students interested in the Photography concentration, the Foundation Portfolio Review will take place in the fall semester of each year. The review is a faculty evaluation of student work from a minimum of 18 credit hours completed in the following courses: Drawing I, Drawing II, Design I, Design II, 3-D Design, and Photography Survey. The Foundation Portfolio Review will result in an “accept” or “deny” into the Photography concentration.
For students interested in Graphic Design, the Foundation Portfolio Review for entrance into that concentration will take place in the fall semester of each year. The review is a faculty evaluation of student work from a minimum of 18 credit hours completed in the following courses: Drawing I, Drawing II, Design I, Design II, 3-D Design, and Introduction to Computing for Art. The Foundation Portfolio Review will result in an “accept” or “deny” in the Graphic Design concentration.
Students accepted (by faculty evaluation) into the Fine Arts, Graphic Design, or Photography concentration may begin the concentration sequence of courses. Students denied may remain in the art program and resubmit a portfolio in the next Review. Students cannot pursue a concentration in which they have been denied twice. They will have to choose another concentration in order to pursue a B.F.A. in Art at Mississippi State.
Only the top students in the Review will be accepted into the Graphic Design concentration. Contact the Advising Coordinator for more information.
Senior Graphic Design students are required to present a portfolio and present an exhibition. Senior students in the other concentrations are required to present an exhibition as degree requirements. These final presentation requirements are fulfilled in capstone courses; ART 4640 Advanced Graphics for students in the Graphic Design concentration; ART 4083 Senior Research and ART 4093 Senior Thesis for students in the Fine Arts concentration area; and ART 4583 Photographic Portfolio I and ART 4593 Photographic Portfolio II for students in the Photography concentration.
The Department of Art requires all incoming Art majors to purchase certain technology and equipment necessary for production and presentation of artwork within departmental courses. All incoming students are required to purchase a personal laptop computer and software upon enrollment into their first semester courses. The required computer and software must be selected from an approved departmental list of minimum hardware and software requirements available on the Department of Art web site.
Financial aid that includes this requirement may be available by contacting the MSU Student Financial Aid and Scholarship office.
Additionally, upon enrollment in ART 2103 Photography Survey, students will be required to purchase a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera. The required camera must be selected from an approved departmental list of minimum specifications. The approved list is available on the Department of Art web site.
Additional fees associated with class materials, technology and laboratory materials are required of students and are automatically assessed to the students.
Upon successful completion of the Foundation Portfolio Review for the Fine Arts concentration, students proceed into the concentration sequence of courses.
Senior Capstone experience, co-requisite with 6 hours of ART 4620 Advanced Studio - Fine Arts.
The Foundation Portfolio Review is required after successful completion of the Foundation Program.
The Department of Art offers a minor in Art. The minor consists of 18 credit hours of courses with an ART prefix. One or more 1000-level courses and one 2000-level course must be completed in addition to at least three 3000- or 4000-level courses. For an Art minor, a student may take all Art studio courses or a combination of Studio and Art History.
