Students may take art courses at any level, subject to completion of prerequisites and availability of space.
Senior art majors are required to present a Thesis Exhibition of their work in their area(s) of concentration. Students must provide photographic or video documentation of the Senior Thesis Exhibition for the departmental collection.
Some courses in studio art and in art history are not offered every semester. Students should plan ahead with their major adviser to assure availability of required courses. Students wishing to study abroad are strongly encouraged to do so during the fall semester of their junior year.
