Second BFA Degree
New Policy effective Spring 2026. This policy applies to all students.
Students who have previously completed and been awarded a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree from Otis College and who are subsequently admitted into a new BFA may have applicable coursework from their prior degree applied towards the new program’s requirements. Prior coursework will be evaluated as institutional transfer credit. Studio requirements will not be waived. Students pursuing a second BFA must complete all remaining required credits in residence.
