Most of our students are B.F.A. majors, giving them the greatest opportunity to develop strong portfolios before heading off to their next challenge after graduation. The B.F.A. program is specifically designed to ensure a balance of studio experiences across a range of areas, even in the junior and senior years. Unlike some programs where students can become isolated in their area of emphasis, our curriculum requires continued exploration of alternative approaches throughout all four years. In order to enter the B.F.A. program the student must submit a portfolio of 10 examples of their artwork. Currently, we use the portfolio review as a way of assessing student capabilities as they enter the program. This helps faculty identify strengths and weaknesses of incoming students. While it is necessary to submit a portfolio to declare or switch to the B.F.A. major, portfolio submission status will not keep students from enrolling in individual courses. However, submitting the portfolio as early as possible is the best way to ensure good, accurate academic advising. Students must complete 78 hours in art, at least 16 of which must be at the 300/400 level, with minimum grades of C. Graphic Design The Graphic Design's Program at Salisbury University is made up of six, four credit, core classes. These core courses are sequentially organized so that each subsequent class in the Graphic Design Program continues to deepen in both software usage and project depth. At the beginning of the Program, for example, the curriculum centers on design and type history. At the next level, students explore typography on a more personal level. They complete projects that involve the actual design of a customized alphabet. By the time students reach the 400 level, they've been encouraged to take upper level electives that typically include: Illustration, New Media, Photography and/or Drawing & Painting. Included in the Graphic Design Program is an Internship requirement along with a Graphic Design "Agency" class. All graduating BFA Graphic Design students will have some client-based projects presented in their portfolios. Salisbury University students participate in AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts) events in the Baltimore, Washington & Blue Ridge Chapters.
