Selected upper-division Studio Art courses (ARTS 30000 or 40000 level) may be taken without first successfully completing ART 30001. At the completion of seven specific courses (ART 10022, ART 10023, ART 10024, ARTH 22007, ARTS 14000 and two of the four foundations electives), students register for ART 30001 and submit a portfolio of representative studio work selected from these courses to a studio art faculty committee for review. An examination of knowledge of art history also will be included. Incoming transfer students are expected to provide examples of foundational coursework equivalent to School of Art requirements for ART 30001. The review is a formative assessment of the student's foundations work including a digital portfolio, installation of sampling of works and proficiency in written and oral critical thinking.
A minimum C grade must be earned to fulfill the writing-intensive requirement.
A maximum 3 credit hours of ARTS 45090 may be applied toward Studio Art Electives. Students may apply this course toward fulfilling general electives, with no maximum credit hours required.
