Notes and restrictions
Participation in Fourth-Year Show/Curatorial Project required for concentrations in Fine Arts and Graphic Design.

We therefore require all Art majors to meet the co-requirements specific to their concentrations. Students obtaining a secondary teaching certificate are exempt from the co-requirements.

Honors
The Art Department offers an honors program in selected studio areas and art history. For admission into the program, students must have completed all courses offered within the intended area of focus, including independent study in some areas. Approval of the division chairperson is also required. For graduation with Departmental Honors in Art, students must complete 4-8 sh of ART 4000, which can be spread over several semesters. The honors project must be presented to the Faculty of the Art Department as well as at the Spring Honors Symposium.
