Printmaking
Undergraduate Program
Printmaking majors have the opportunity to learn about the history of printmaking and to take classes in studio printing.
A portfolio is not required for admission to these programs, although if you are a transfer student you may need to submit one for placement. At the end of your sophomore year, the studio faculty members in your area will review your portfolio to determine if you can continue in the program. You also must submit your work in a senior exit review.
Upon completion of 12 semester hours at UNT, including at least six hours in your major, you may work in a part-time job related to your field through UNT's Center for Cooperative Education. You may earn money for your college expenses while gaining valuable work experience. Through cooperative placement, more than 300 Dallas-Fort Worth companies employ UNT students. Many students go on to full-time positions with co-op employers after graduation.
