Transfer and upper-division undergraduates work with their mentors to create training programs tailored to each student's individual needs and interests. The curriculum is highly individualized, with core program requirements serving as a framework for further studies customized to meet each student's goals and ambitions.

All BFA Design and Production students are required to pass a Mid-Residence and Graduation Review in order to complete the Program and obtain the BFA degree.
