The Communication Arts combined B.F.A./M.A. program allows students to achieve a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Communication Arts and a Master of Arts in Communication Arts in five years. The five-year program creates a fast track to our master’s degree by allowing accomplished communication arts students to complete a total of 109 undergraduate credits, and then move into the 36-credit Master of Arts Program. This combined degree is intended for students who wish to be recognized as graduates of a highly competitive and unique program. It also offers students an opportunity to gain an “edge” in the marketplace while incurring less time and expense. All students in this combined program will be reviewed at the end of each of the first three academic years in order to monitor their performance. Students whose grade point averages fall below 3.0 will be notified that their standing in the program is in jeopardy and they will be reevaluated at the end of the following semester. Progression to the M.A.: Students will progress to the graduate phase of the combined degree program after completing all 109 undergraduate credits with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0.
