| The following changes are proposed for requirements
given on page 206 of the College of Fine Arts section of The Undergraduate
Catalog, 2000-2002: |
DESIGN MAJOR
| 1. |
Basic education requirements: At least thirty-nine
semester hours as described on page 204. |
| 2. |
Studio art: Twenty-one semester hours, consisting
of Studio Art 301K, 301L, 302K, 302L, and nine additional semester
hours of studio art. |
| 3. |
Design: Forty-five semester hours, consisting of
Design 370 with a grade of at least [B] C
and approval of the design faculty; Design 371 with a grade of at
least [B] C and approval of
the design faculty; and thirty-nine additional hours of design, of
which at least twenty-four must be upper-division. Approval of the
design faculty is required before the student may begin upper-division
design courses. A student with transfer credit in design must have
approval of the design faculty before taking upper-division design
courses at the University. |
| 4. |
Art history: Twelve semester hours, consisting of
Art History 302, 303, and six semester hours of upper-division art
history. |
| 5. |
Electives: Three semester hours chosen from courses
either within or outside the Department of Art and Art History |
Total requirements for the degree: 120 semester hours
as outlined above.
Justification: The design faculty feel that the
failure to earn a B in Design 370 or Design 371 should not prevent
a student, who has otherwise succeeded within the program, from earning
the degree.
