<p>If I’m understanding your question correctly, you’re not asking for a list of non-auditioned BAs that can later audition for a BFA. (There are a number of those including UCI for example.)</p>
<p>I believe there are a number of BFA programs that include a review of a student’s work and standing before they are given the green light to continue with some of the advanced BFA training in the later grades. In effect, isn’t that more or less the same thing whether you’re admitted directly into a BFA or into an auditioned BA with the possibility of switching to a BFA? In both cases I suspect the motivation is to ensure a class of committed and capable students who can handle the work that lies ahead. It’s not for everyone.</p>
<p>What’s attractive about that type of program? One could imagine that if you know you’re a student that is fully committed and capable, you’d end up with a like minded peer group by virtue of the fact that there is a filtering process in place to help sort that out. But to be completely honest, it’s not that uncommon for time to sort that out (eventually) anyway. You don’t easily stick with a (rigorous - and they vary) BFA through to the end if you’re on the fence. You need to want it and you need to be capable of showing the faculty that you belong there.</p>
