WHY DO STUDENTS TRANSFER TO CFA?
Over 700 students transfer to BU each year, and CFA welcomes new Terriers. Boston is a thriving city for the arts and music and CFA students benefit from the opportunities.

INTRA UNIVERSITY TRANSFER ADMISSIONS
Are you a BU student interested in transferring into CFA via Intra-University Transfer (IUT)?
To start the process, please complete the online Intra University Transfer Interest Form. Once you complete this form, someone from the School of interest will contact you regarding the next step in the process. A 2.0 GPA is required to be artistically evaluated for transfer into CFA. For most programs of study within the College of Fine Arts, you will need to audition or have a portfolio review to be considered for transfer. Please review IUT details from the School of Music, School of Theatre, and School of Visual Arts for more information. Students artistically admitted to the College of Fine Arts via successful evaluation of audition or portfolio will receive confirmation from Brendan Hoey, Director of Undergraduate Student Services, to complete paperwork and update records as needed.
