Revised 02/07
*Studio classes in the Art Department involve elaborate setup, clean up, and environmental and mechanical safety issues.
This takes instructional time from the beginning and end of each class session. For that reason it is Art Department’s
policy that we meet four hours, rather than three hours, for one unit of credit.
