Integrated Studio Arts, BFA (Portfolio Required)

About

Integrated Studio Arts allows students to craft individualized plans of study to build a major in the fine arts intended to provide a solid foundation in arts, history, and concepts with a student-selected focus in 2D media, craft and material studies, art, technology & culture, or interdisciplinary studio arts.

The integrated studio arts major prepares students for careers with professional practice components that provide opportunities for students to exhibit their own work and to curate, organize, and install exhibitions in Purdue's Patti and Rusty Rueff Galleries. Students graduate with a BFA.

Important Note About Portfolio Requirement: Students who apply to Integrated Studio Arts will be required to provide a digital portfolio and must provide the portfolio to complete their application by the appropriate application deadline. Students who are interested in studio arts but do not have a portfolio may apply to the Studio Arts and Technology BA program.

Important PORTFOLIO information: Purdue's Common Application does not provide an upload link for the portfolio of creative work which is required for applicants to the BFA in Integrated Studio Arts. Rather, applicants should apply through the Common App, then - once they have established their Purdue application portal - an upload link for their portfolio will be shared.

All liberal arts majors prepare students with the skills identified as contributing to managerial success: communicating and listening well, possessing insights into others, creative/critical thinking, problem solving, and the ability to make connections across complex ideas.

Entry Requirements

For most first-time college students (future freshman) a complete application includes:

The application itself
Purdue-specific questions from the application
Self-reported high school grades
Self-reported ACT or SAT test scores*
Proof of English proficiency (for citizens of non-English speaking countries)
The application fee (or qualified fee waiver)

Students apply to Purdue using the Common Application. This application requires you to provide a personal essay and answer Purdue-specific questions. View current essay questions.

We accept SAT or ACT scores and have no preference on which test is taken. You may report the best scores from across different tests. If able, you should take one or the other in the spring of your junior year in preparation for the November 1 Early Action deadline that encompasses scholarship consideration.

When you apply, you are able to report best components from different test dates. School codes for Purdue West Lafayette: ACT – 1230; SAT – 1631.

*For Spring, Summer, and Fall 2023, Purdue is test flexible. This means that if a student can take an SAT or ACT, we prefer they do so. However, we recognize that possible cancellations and postponement of national standardized tests due to pandemic restrictions may be impacting students’ applications. With that in mind, we will move forward and review any application from a student who is unable to take a standardized test.

Looking ahead: In 2024, Purdue will return to requiring the SAT or ACT test score(s) for admission consideration.
