Studio Art 42-Credit Major (BA)

An intensive major is available for the student who prefers a greater concentration in studio art and particularly for the student who plans to do graduate study in art. It consists of ARTLA 10100 and ARTCR 22100 , with a concentration of 9 credits in one study area (e.g., painting, sculpture, drawing, graphics, ceramics, photography, combined media) and 18 credits of other studio art courses to be determined in consultation with a departmental adviser (a total of 30 credits of studio art). Nine credits of study in art history are required. (It is recommended that students declare their major within 41 credits.)

Students should consult with a department adviser for guidance in the selection of 200-level courses. The plan for the area of concentration should be submitted to an adviser for tentative approval at the beginning of the junior year and for final approval in the lower senior term.

Please note: A maximum of 30 credits in studio art may be applied toward the BA degree.
