Freshmen 

As a student accepted into one of the six BFA programs, please be aware of the following:

  • You will be required to submit a portfolio in the spring semester of your freshmen year to apply for acceptance into the intended BFA program. Portfolios will be evaluated by the School of Art and Design faculty. Through your first-year experience, you will be given the tools and skills required to prepare and submit the portfolio, and the necessary support to navigate the application process.

Transfer Students

  • All transfer students will be admitted as a Pre-Bachelor of Fine Arts (Pre-BFA) student.  Submit a portfolio and essay to be reviewed by a committee of the School of Art & Design faculty, who will determine direct admissions into the BFA major of your choice. The priority deadline is no later than Midnight on October 1st for spring admission and March 1st for fall admission. You will receive direction on how to submit your portfolio in your acceptance letter to UW-Stout.  
  • Submissions may be made after the priority date; however, there is no guarantee when it will be reviewed for a decision nor what art-specific coursework you may be able to get into after the review is completed and whether or not a registration for the next semester has begun.  There is a $10 application fee assessed at the time you electronically submit your portfolio.
