Applications for the B.F.A. in Emerging Media Arts for fall 2025 will open mid-August, 2024.
Your academic preparedness will be considered along with the materials you submit here. For those still in high school, this includes a cumulative GPA of 3.0. Students enrolled full-time at a post-secondary institution must have both a cumulative and last term GPA of 3.0 or better at the time of application. These will be taken from your Nebraska admissions file.
Due to the unique content and sequencing of the EMA courses, students should expect to be enrolled full-time for four years after acceptance to complete the program, regardless of the amount of credit previously earned. This includes students transferring from another institution or UNL major.
Admission for this program is highly competitive. It is important that applicants present their best work and that their materials are complete.
Questions about the EMA program, application guidelines or application materials should be directed to (402) 472-2615 or carsoncenter@unl.edu.
