CFA Transfer Student FAQs

Does the College of Fine Arts have a separate application process from the University of Arizona?

All Majors within the College of Fine Arts require the additional CFA major application and audition/portfolio.

How do I know which courses transfer from another institution?

Prospective Students should determine course transfers with an academic advisor, not all classes transfer or transfer equally from other institutions

NOTE: Professional training programs (BFA/BM tracks) may require sequenced classes – please note that these programs may take longer even with transfer credits

How do I make an appointment with an academic advisor?

Transfers can meet with academic advisors before and during the application/transfer process. Schedule an appointment with an advisor from your desired major.

Is there only one audition/portfolio process?

Some majors require an audition/portfolio after their first year.

How do I keep up to date on important University information?

Upon admission, make sure to check your student email account regularly, important dates and deadlines will be communicated to your email through your College/School’s listserv.

"I started me getting into art actually through skateboarding, I grew up skateboarding when I was in high school so that's what sparked it. I wanted to get a camera to document my life and experiences with skateboarding so I bought a film camera and here I am two years later in art school. For me some of my favorite subjects to take photos of are skateboarding, concerts, portraits, and landscapes. Since I got here I have found a very accepting community within the art school and love being in the darkroom and a part of the the photo program community. But as I continue here at the university I hope to grow and expand my skills."
