UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS

The undergraduate curriculum required for majors in Visual Arts and Art History allows a specialization in the areas of Ceramics, Graphic Design, Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture, Photography, or Art History.

Students begin their study in either the BA in Studio Art or BA in Art History degree program. Upon completion of all prerequisites, Studio Art students must make a submission for portfolio review in Studio Art or Graphic Design in the Fall or Spring semester. Students who pass the portfolio review may choose to matriculate to the Graphic Design or Studio Art BFA programs.

Transfer students with AA degrees must have taken Art History Survey I and II, Design, Drawing I, Figure Drawing, Three-Dimensional Design, and Introduction to Digital Arts. Transfer students are also required to send a copy of their academic transcript. Transfer work to be credited toward the degree must be evaluated by the Chair of the Department.

Undergraduate Visual Arts and Art History majors may not take an art course under the pass/fail option, nor will a grade below “C” in an art course be counted toward fulfilling the requirements of the major.

 

Undergraduate Prerequisites & Graduation Requirements

Degree Requirements

Students should plan their degree program in consultation with their advisor through Navigate. For planning purposes, it is important to read this Degree Requirements section carefully and to refer questions to the advisor or other appropriate offices. Many of the degree requirements described are most conveniently satisfied during the lower division (prior to the student's completion of 60 credits). When planning their lower-division program, students should consider the General Education Curriculum requirements and others, such as the Writing Across Curriculum and College-Level Computation Skills.
