Successful completion of the review results from faculty judgment of the work submitted, the student's GPA, and the area's resources. Once accepted into the graphic design major, it will take five semesters to matriculate through the program.
Students must also have a B average in required foundation courses. An overall 3.0 average must be maintained in all graphic design classes in order to enroll in required ARGD 4110 Senior Portfolio.
