Undergraduate Requirements

Laptop Requirement

Laptops are required for all Art & Design programs. The goal of the Peck School of the Arts laptop requirement is to provide the opportunity for students to work extensively and intuitively with the most significant contemporary tool for their work so that they will excel not only in their courses but also in their profession after they graduate.

Bachelor of Fine Arts (Studio Art)

This undergraduate degree prepares students for entrance into professional art fields. Once students meet the 36-credit Art-Intended requirements, they are admitted to the Art & Design program. In addition to satisfying the core curriculum, art students select studio courses from both 2D and 3D disciplines, take required art history courses, choose studio electives, and begin satisfying the requirements of their declared art area concentration.

A choice of curricula is offered to permit students to concentrate in Ceramics, Digital studio practice, Fibers, Jewelry and Metalsmithing, Painting and Drawing, Photography and Imaging, Print and Narrative Forms, or Sculpture. Students must complete a minimum of 24 credits in their area of concentration but may take more by choosing additional studio electives in their area.

In order to graduate, students must complete two 3-credit critical thinking courses and a 4-credit capstone: ART 604 and ART 605. Students must complete a total of 85 credits of art to graduate with a BFA (Studio Art).

The Bachelor of Fine Arts (Studio Art) degree requires a total of 130 credits for graduation distributed as follows:

Area of Concentration Requirements and Enrollment Management

In order to maintain the highest quality of service to our students, all areas (Ceramics, Digital Studio Practice, Fibers, Jewelry and Metalsmithing, Painting and Drawing, Photography and Imaging, Print and Narrative Forms, Sculpture, Design and Visual Communication, and Art Education) may select their own enrollment management mechanisms. Options available to areas include portfolio review, gateway courses, registration prioritizing (ex: "seniors only" and/or "majors only" courses), higher GPA for the area of concentration, or other appropriate mechanisms. Students who successfully matriculate as BFA degree candidates should make themselves familiar with the requirements of their chosen area (as outlined in the undergraduate catalog). Students also should discuss area requirements with area faculty to ensure that they understand fully what will be required of them.

Art & Design Graduate Admission Requirements

Each graduate program has admission requirements in addition to the general Graduate School admission requirements. Refer to Graduate Admission and Cost for the graduate school’s admission requirements, and to the specific program for the program’s admission requirements.

Art & Design Undergraduate Admission Requirements

To be admitted in good standing, applicants (incoming freshmen and transfer students) must meet general University requirements. After being admitted to UWM and indicating Art as your chosen major, no further steps are required for acceptance into the Department of Art & Design.

Art & Design Undergraduate Incoming and Transfer Student Scholarship Portfolio Submissions

The appeal process will provide an opportunity for individual students to request advancement to the art major or enrollment into courses as exceptions to the department's enrollment policies based on defined, pre-determined conditions. All appeals are to be directed to the Undergraduate Advisor or PSOA advisor, who will forward the appeals to the department chair or appropriate appeals committee. The department chair or appeals committee will consult with the First Year Program Director, area head, faculty, advisors, and student if necessary before making a decision.

Art Education Advancement to Major

See the Art Education, BFA page for the Art Education advancement to major requirements.

Art Education Certification Requirements

Following admission to the Art Education Program, and successful completion of the specified Art Education course of studies, a student seeking recommendation for teacher certification must successfully fulfill the following requirements:

fulfill all degree requirements;
fulfill the field experience requirement;
maintain a 2.75 cumulative GPA or higher while being in the program;
maintain a 3.0 or higher in content area courses (Art & Art History) or pass the Praxis II Art Content Exam;
successfully complete student teaching; and
demonstrate mastery of the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary for a career in the field of art education through the use of a Teaching Portfolio (see description below):
The Art Education Area and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction require that students compile a teaching portfolio that demonstrates teaching proficiency. The required reflections, artifacts, statements, and assessment composing this portfolio will be compiled mostly as a part of their major two art education methods classes (ART ED 327 and ART ED 328). Fewer documents will be produced during their student teaching capstone classes (ART ED 425 and ART ED 426). Some of the documents that this portfolio includes are: copy of current resume, teaching philosophy, reflections on the Ten Wisconsin Teaching Standards, artifacts supporting the reflections showing your work as a teacher and your students’ work, lesson plans written and taught in field experiences, field experience assessments, and clinical assessments during student teaching.
Teacher Performance Assessment, EdTPA (see explanation below):
This is a performance-based test in which student teachers plan, instruct, and assess a visual arts lesson plan for K-12 following the requirements outlined in the EdTPA Handbook. Among these requirements student teachers must show strong curriculum based on four types of objectives, the use of academic language derived from the research of art content and contexts, and cohesive sequencing of art appreciation, artmaking, and art critique. Along with all this, students should demonstrate a theoretical use of visual art learning theory, elaborated skills in the documentation of in-progress and finalized student work, and an ability to reflect on their own teaching, as a way to inform the following steps in their instructional sequence.

Program-to-Program Articulation Agreements

The Department of Art & Design has Program-to-Program Articulation Agreements with several regional and international institutions, including the following agreements with the Milwaukee Area Technical College's (MATC) Graphic Design Associate Degree Program, Waukesha County Technical College's (WCTC) Graphic Design Associate Degree Program, and with the Hubei University of Technology in Wuhan, China.
