Effective fall term 2012, in addition to the university admission requirements, students wishing to major in any program in the College of Visual Arts and Design must meet minimum academic requirements to be classified as a pre-major. Admission to the college through this process does not guarantee acceptance into your chosen major as several programs have entry reviews and all have midpoint reviews that must be passed in order to complete the program.
