@momrath gave a lot of great info although a BFA is NOT generally a 5 year degree UNLESS it’s in architecture, combining it with teaching which would be a BFA/MA, or your student changes their concentration/major after sophomore year which will mess up the track of study they’re on. So don’t let that scare you re a BFAs.

BFAs compared to BAs are hard and have longer hours in the studio per certification programs like NASAD, so bear that in mind and check on the actual graduation rates of the colleges you’re looking at. Also remember that a lot of students can sometimes be in for a shock with the studio hours and homework hours expected outside of the classroom, so some degree of dropping out is not unusual.
