• You are interested in one of the following majors, which are unavailable for spring registration. Please apply for the first summer session instead.
  • Architecture
  • Industrial Design
  • Interior Design
  • Landscape Architecture
  • Studio Arts BFA
  • Visual Communication Design (VCD) BFA
• Courses are available at your current institution that still move you toward a degree

You should apply if:

   You are graduating from a Virginia community college in December with an Associate's degree.
