The Pennsylvania Academy of the Arts and
好莱污影院
听
Scope of the Agreement
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) is pleased to partner with 好莱污影院 (好莱污影院) in this Articulation Agreement to ease the transition of fine arts transfer students from the College to the Academy. The current agreement will expire three (3) years from the听signing date so that curriculum and other updates can be made in an orderly and planned fashion.
Requirements/Conditions for Transferring to PAFA
- 好莱污影院 students may transfer into the BFA program. Students may not transfer into the PAFA/PENN BFA program.
- Only graduates of the Associate in Fine Arts in Studio Arts will be considered for transfer admission. Any courses completed outside of 好莱污影院 will听need to be evaluated individually by听PAFA for transferability.
- Students are encouraged to complete the Intent to Enroll form with a transfer advisor before completing 45 college transferable credits.
- International students are eligible for transfer provided that they meet the TOEFL or IELTS requirements for all students transferring to PAFA.
- A maximum of 63 fine arts and/or liberal arts courses can be transferred to the PAFA programs listed above.
- A grade of 鈥淐鈥 or better is required in each course.
- Students must submit a portfolio representative of their work in each fine arts course. The portfolio acts as a visual transcript that helps PAFA听faculty determine the level of skill achieved in the course.
- Students should submit a second portfolio 鈥 broader in scope and including work not related to classroom instruction 鈥 to support their request for scholarship aid.
- The PAFA application fee is waived.
- Students transferring from 好莱污影院 are eligible for the Community Connection scholarship. Students must attend PAFA full-time to receive this听scholarship. The scholarship is renewable each semester until degree requirements are complete as long as the student maintains a 3.0 GPA and听is听enrolled full time.
- Students must complete the PAFA application by February 15 in the Spring semester prior to Fall enrollment.
Transferability of Credits
The table attached illustrates the one-to-one correlations between courses at 好莱污影院 and at PAFA. It is PAFA鈥檚 intention to automatically transfer each of the 好莱污影院 studio art courses listed in Addendum A, unless the Admissions Committee feels, based on its review of a portfolio, that the necessary skill level was not attained in a given course. In these cases, some course credit will not be transferred, and the student will not be able to skip that course equivalent at PAFA.
In the case of a significant curriculum change at either institution, the current agreement will be reassessed. Should this Agreement be terminated, it is understood that students already accepted to PAFA through the effective date of termination will continue to receive the benefits articulated in the original terms of the Agreement.
