Entry into the program is competitive and requires one year of study at Iowa State University. The B.F.A. in integrated studio arts requires students to take courses from all the studio arts areas: ceramics, photography, wood design, metal and jewelry design, fibers, computer modeling and animation, painting, and printmaking.

After you have taken introductory courses from all these areas, you are free to focus on the areas you are most interested in for your advanced requirements.
