Application/portfolio reviews for acceptance will be held on announced dates during the Fall and Spring semesters. (See Department of Art website at http://www.westga.edu/~artdept for complete application description and dates). All applicants who are accepted will be approved for the BA in Art (Studio) degree.
The application/portfolio review is based on a consideration of artwork and a written effectiveness.
