The majority of the cost of supplies must be borne by the student. In order to permit the University to subsidize this cost and to allow for savings through discount buying, some materials are obtained through the school by payment of a lab fee. The amount of the fee is established for each semester prior to registration.

Students who elect to take a substantial number of credits in Studio Art with the objective of graduate work are advised to obtain counseling from their academic advisor regarding their choices. However, in general, it is important to know that graduate studies in Studio Art normally require an in-depth knowledge of traditional and contemporary media, as well as a significant awareness of contemporary art history and theory. Students are encouraged to take electives in other disciplines from across the University to inform their Studio Art practice. Cognate electives in other disciplines in the College of Arts, such as Philosophy, History, and English will almost certainly prove an asset.
