To pursue a bachelor's degree with a major in art involves a selection process that requires the submission of both the university application and art program application. Applicants are screened based on a review of academic records and a portfolio of original artwork.

All students admitted to the Department of Art complete a common first-year program of study comprised of required courses drawing, design, computer art, and art history.

To begin the process of being considered for admission to an art program:

• Applicants must complete and submit both the application for undergraduate admission to Ball State and art program application.
• Portfolio of work. 5-10 works for regular admission (10-15 if applying for scholarship).
• Three drawings from direct observation must be included as part of your portfolio.
• Applicants considering a major in art are encouraged to apply early in order to meet the deadlines for admission and scholarship consideration.
