Course Modifications
RATIONALE – Motions #1 - 5
The following prerequisite changes will help facilitate future articulation agreements /
pathways between college art and design programs and Nipissing’s Fine Arts program.

We are refocusing FAVA 2236 on the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in
order to avoid overlap with FAVA 2237.

maintain its focus on modern art and social movements.
