Admission Requirements for the FSU Bachelor of Fine Arts – Animation and Digital Arts Program

Motion Picture Arts is a limited access program. Admission is highly selective. Each class comprises no more than 100 students. Separate applications must be made to The Florida State University Office of Admissions and to The College of Motion Picture Arts. Applications to both FSU and the College of Motion Picture Arts must be completed by January 18, 2012.

An applicant seeking to enter the College of Motion Picture Arts must meet the grade point average and test score requirements described by the University’s Office of Admissions. To learn more, visit  http://admissions.fsu.edu/freshman/admissions/requirements.cfm.

The College of Motion Picture Arts will accept on-line applications for consideration of admission for Fall 2012 from August 1, 2011 through January 18, 2012.

The application package for the FSU BFA in Animation and Digital Arts Program consists of the following items. If any of these items are not received by January 18, 2012, your application will be incomplete and will not be reviewed by the Admissions Committee:

• The Freshman or Transfer on-line application
• A résumé encompassing any/all of the following: education, employment, extra-curricular activities, creative endeavors, sports, hobbies, travel, and service work
• Three letters of recommendation (Please request these well ahead of the deadline so that your references have adequate time to prepare their letters. All letters must be received by January 18, 2012 for transfer students.)
• Unofficial copies of high school and college transcripts
• A statement of purpose: a 500 to 1,000 word essay that describes your creative influences, personal objectives, and future career goals – in short, your motivation for pursuing a career in digital media.

FSU BFA applicants may not submit portfolio items as part of the application.

Admission into the film major as a transfer student requires that no less than 30 hours of FSU’s liberal studies requirements be completed at FSU or through transferable credit from another institution prior to Fall admission into the College of Motion Picture Arts.  A student may apply as a transfer to the College of Motion Picture Arts during the fall semester of his/her freshman or sophomore year in college but not during the junior or senior years in college.

Transfer students do not need to submit a separate application to DDI; enrollment in the DDI Animation & Digital Arts Program is automatic for all BFA students. No transfers of credits can be made toward the completion of the DDI diploma; all credits for the program must be earned at DDI.

Freshman and transfer applicants who are being considered for admission into the program will be invited for mandatory interviews with the Motion Picture Arts Admissions Committee. Those selected to interview for Fall 2012 admission will be notified as far in advance as possible, but not less than 10 days prior to the interview session. We anticipate that interviews will take place during February and March 2012; specific dates have not yet been determined.
