All bolded courses meet general education requirements.
For the Secondary requirement, a student must take five art studio classes outside their major concentration. The five classes can be taken in a single secondary discipline, or
the student can choose an interdisciplinary focus which consists of three studio classes in one area (i.e. photography) and then two other studio classes that do not have to be
in the same area.
*Students who earn an English ACT score of 27, or an SAT score of 550, can opt out of EH 101.
**Must have one history elective and one literature elective. In addition, students must choose a second history to complete a two-part history sequence.
***Any mixture of the following drawing classes can be taken including: Figure Drawing I, II, III; Conceptual Drawing I, II, III; as well as Color Theory (222, 322, 422, 225, 325,
425, 326).
Two designated writing (W) courses are required with at least one course chosen from offerings in the student's major or minor. Courses carrying this required credit are
identified in the University Bulletin by a (W) after the course title.
The Sample 4-year plan is designed as a guide for students preparing for their course selections. This information provides only a suggested schedule. Actual course selections
should be made in consultation with an advisor.
