Art Studio Major

Digital Art and Design Track

Screening

Digital art and design is a screened track. The prerequisites and procedures for screening are listed below. Please contact Stuart Stein, the digital art and design area coordinator, with any questions via e-mail, sstein@towson.edu.

1. A GPA of 2.00 overall (3.00 in the major).

2. The following courses must be completed by the end of the term in which the student applies to the digital art and design track: ART 103, ART 104, ART 111, ART 211, ART 217, ART 229, ARTH 221, ARTH 222. Students must complete these courses, or equivalent transferred courses before taking further courses in the track.

3. A grade lower than B- (2.67) in any studio art course will eliminate the student from consideration for the digital art and design track.

4. Declared art majors may apply to the digital art and design track at the end of their third term of study. At the time of application, a minimum of 45 units must have been completed, including courses from that term. Students may apply who have earned an A.A. degree in a related major.

5. To be considered in the screening process, students must submit the following by the last day of finals in a given term: an official transcript, a Digital Art and Design Track Screening Form and a sealed 18”x 24” portfolio. The portfolio must include two pieces of work from ART 103, ART 211, ART 217 and ART 229 (a total of eight pieces). Students who do not submit a portfolio or submit an incomplete portfolio will not be considered for the digital art and design track at that time. Late applications will not be considered. Students with an overall GPA of 3.50 or greater, having completed other prerequisites, and having completed a minimum of 45 units at Towson University, are accepted on confirmation of their overall GPA and do not need to submit portfolios.

6. Students not accepted may reapply twice. If the student’s GPA falls below a 3.00 in the major or 2.00 overall, the student may have a probationary term to get the major GPA to 3.00 and GPA to 2.00 overall.
