The Osprey Map provides a term-by-term sample schedule for each undergraduate academic program at the University of North Florida. It is designed to guide students in the selection of courses each term. The "Mile Marker" courses are those courses that should be completed before or by the end of that term. Following the sample schedule, and completing the mile marker courses at the appropriate point of your undergraduate career, will facilitate graduation in four years. The term-by-term model assumes full-time enrollment. For students enrolled part-time, the sample schedule and mile markers should be followed based on the number of credits completed. The Osprey Map should be used in consultation with an academic advisor.
The BFA Studio Art Program offers a concentration in Printmaking. Our curriculum addresses technical and material means of visual expression while also focusing on issues inherent in each student's work. We encourage research, critical thinking, and a commitment to creativity on the part of the student. Our goal as a faculty is to enable students to reach a higher degree of excellence. Please visit the Printmaking webpage for more information.
Career Planning
Engaging in career planning activities is significant to student success. UNF offers customized career centers to deliver targeted programs, events, services and resources. First-Year students should visit the Career Services webpage and Sophomore or higher level students with a declared COAS major should visit the College of Arts and Sciences Career Success Center.
Students should refer to their personalized Degree Evaluation provided by an advisor and to other university resources for additional university and college-specific policies. Visit the undergraduate university catalog for more information.
Taking classes during the summer is highly recommended by faculty in the Fine Arts to alleviate the intensity of Studio classes completed in fall and spring terms. Utilizing summer terms will also help to facilitate graduation in four years.
- Visit the university catalog for a list of General Education requirements. An Associate in Arts (AA) degree from a Florida public university, state college or community college satisfies UNF general education and Gordon Rule requirements. Math selection is contingent upon appropriate placement score, the student's major and credit received through accelerated mechanisms (Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, Dual Enrollment, etc).
- Students pursuing the BFA with a Printmaking concentration should include their prerequisite courses every semester until completion.
- Fine Arts students are encouraged to undertake an international educational experience (Study Abroad). Visit the International Center's Study Abroad webpage for additional information.
- Independent study courses in any fine arts area require prior approval of the department chairperson.
- Department of Art and Design first day attendance rule: any student who misses the first day without advanced notice to the faculty member or department representative will be administratively dropped from the course.
- Civic Literacy Requirement: Prior to graduation from a Florida state university, students must demonstrate competency in civic literacy through successful completion of a civic literacy course (AMH 2020 or POS 2041) and by achieving a passing score on an assessment. Consult an academic advisor, the university catalog and visit the Civic Literacy webpage for additional information.
- A minimum of 120 hours (48 hours at the upper 3000/4000 level) is required for the bachelor's degree. Students may need to complete Free Elective credit at the upper level (3000/4000) to satisfy the minimum 48 semester hours of upper level hours for graduation.
