Advising Course Plan - Studio Art Major - 2 Year Plan
This advising plan shows an example of working through the requirements for the major in two years. It is appropriate for students who have already completed sixteen units of coursework with many of the General Education requirements satisfied by that earlier coursework (remaining general education requirements must be able to be completed with five courses (not including the Junior Seminar). The student’s individual academic plan will be developed in consultation with an adviser and reviewed each semester prior to registering for the next semester. This plan assumes that the student has has taken the following Studio Art (ARTS) classes: ARTS 101A, ARTS 102A, ARTS 103A, and ARTS 201A prior to the first semester shown in the plan; students who have completed two of these courses may be able to complete the major in two years, but it is not guaranteed. Students who have completed less than 16 units, have a substantial number of General Education requirements yet to satisfy, or who have not completed the courses just listed may not be able to complete the degree in two years.
