Admission to Candidacy

Degree seeking students must apply for admission to candidacy during the semester in which they complete their 12th credit toward the master’s degree (6 credits in required courses). Candidacy status will be granted to those who have attained a minimum cumulative index of 3.0, and who have been judged suitable for continuation in the program by the Division Head and faculty. Forms for admission to candidacy may be obtained in the division office. A student who is found to be unacceptable may be asked to withdraw from the program. Students who do not apply for candidacy will not be considered degree candidates.

Exhibit

For the successful completion of the degree requirements, all graduating students must arrange for a public exhibit of their artwork in the final semester of their studies. This is done as part of the Portfolio and Presentation course work. Contact the Division office at least two semesters prior to the exhibit for necessary arrangements.
