Admissions
The number of applicants to programs in Art usually exceeds the number that can be accommodated. For this reason, the school has been authorized by the California State University to apply supplemental admission criteria.
Admission is on a competitive basis, and continuing CSULB students and transfer applicants will be considered equally.
- First-year students applying to the university as Art Education majors will be admitted as Pre-Art Education majors. Admission as pre-Art Education does not guarantee admission to the major.
- Continuing students must apply for admission to Art Education during the semester in which they have earned 45 units after all Major Specific Requirements have been met. Applications must be submitted at such a date so that students can be admitted to the degree program by the time they reach 60 units.
- Transfer applicants must apply during the initial filing period and must designate the major on the application. Students who are not admitted to the major may be admitted to an alternate major if they have listed one on the application. (See CSULB Enrollment Services Website). Transfer students who qualify for admission to the university may be admitted to the B.A. in Art, Optionin Art Education if they meet the Major Specific Requirements for admission to the major. (See CSULB Enrollment Services Website).
Admission Procedures for Change of Major
Currently enrolled students who are undeclared or majors in other departments who wish to apply for admission to any of the degree option programs in Art must meet the current Major Specific Requirements for admission to major. (See CSULB Enrollment Services Website)
