Transfer Credits

The Foundation in Art & Design (FIAD) allows students to earn transferable credits that can be applied toward Gnomon’s BFA degree program. Upon acceptance into the BFA, 12 of the 13 FIAD courses (totaling 35 credits) may transfer, significantly reducing the overall BFA tuition cost. This benefit provides FIAD students with a cost-effective way to start their education in digital arts, effectively lowering the financial investment needed for a Gnomon degree. For many students, this makes FIAD a practical, budget-friendly path to further education at Gnomon.
