Studio Art 42-Credit Major (BA)

The 42-credit Major (BA) is an intensive major recommended 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.  Nine  credits of study in art history are required. Students in the 42-cr Studio Art major may not double major in Art History, but they may minor in Art History, by taking any 4 classes (12cr) in addition to the 3 classes (9 cr) required for the Studio Art 42cr major. No more than 30 credits of ARTCR can be counted toward the 120 credit BA degree, whether in the major or as college electives. 

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 ARTCR credits may be applied toward the BA degree.
