For more specific requirements, see the descriptions of the various degree programs in the catalog. In addition, please refer to Transfer Student Policies on page 25 for more information. Credit from Accredited Institutions Advanced standing is granted to students transferring to SOU with acceptable records from accredited institutions. The amount of credit granted depends on the nature and quality of the applicant’s previous work, evaluated according to Southern Oregon University’s academic requirements. The GPA of transferred credits is computed and used only as a basis for admission and is not included in a student’s SOU GPA. Credit from Unaccredited Institutions No advanced standing is granted at entrance for unaccredited work. After three terms of satisfactory work at SOU, a student may receive credit for coursework from unaccredited institutions, but the courses must be equated with courses offered at SOU. Credit from Two-Year Institutions SOU accepts credit toward a baccalaureate degree from all college transfer work (up to 124 lower division term credits) completed in Oregon or accredited community colleges in other states. Up to 24 credits of vocational-technical coursework that is applicable in an associate degree or Entering the University 7 certificate program at an accredited institution may be accepted as elective credit toward the Advanced Placement (AP): College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Credit 124 credits.

BFA Degree in Art The BFA in art is designed for those students who exhibit strong studio discipline and the desire to pursue studio research in greater depth. The degree requires an additional 24 credits of studio work over the BA/BS degree and emphasizes concentration in at least one studio discipline, with additional studio work in a secondary area. Admission to the BFA program is selective. Interested students must submit an application and portfolio for acceptance into the BFA program after completing the lower division course requirements for the studio art option. BFA applications are held during fall and spring quarters only. Students should be prepared to allow two years to complete the BFA degree after acceptance to the program with the last four quarters of study completed in residence at SOU. Prior to their senior year, students must successfully complete a midprogram review by the BFA Committee. Specific department requirements are listed below. Studio Art Option
