In addition to the freshman year block of courses, the art major must complete a minimum of three semesters in one specialty area of art and a minimum of two semesters in a second area. A faculty-supervised critique of the work of each student is required before commencement. Areas of selection are drawing, painting, sculpture, design, printmaking, ceramics, photography, and graphic design. No art major may present ARTS 1003 or ARHS 1003, or any other art course, to satisfy the college fine arts requirement.

Requirements for an art minor: A minimum of 18 semester hours to include ARTS 1013, ARTS 1313 or ARTS 1323, ARTS 2003, ARHS 2913 or ARHS 2923, and six additional hours in studio art to be determined through consultation with an art department adviser. A student must notify the department of his or her intent to minor.

Requirements for a major in art with a concentration in art history/criticism: A minimum of 40 semester hours, including ARTS 1313, ARTS 1323, ARTS 1013, ARTS 2013, ARTS 4921, and ARHS 2913, ARHS 2923.

Requirements for Departmental Honors in Art: As part of the Honors Studies Program of the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, the department of art provides the opportunity for academically superior junior- and senior-level students to acquire broader and deeper knowledge and skills in the visual arts and related disciplines. This is accomplished through independent research projects in studio art and/or art history under the direction of the art faculty. Outstanding achievement is recognized by awarding the distinction "Art Scholar Cum Laude." Students may apply for honors studies beginning in the second semester of their sophomore year, and normally will not be accepted into the program until completion of the second semester of their junior year. The department requires each applicant to have a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.25 in all college course work, a minimum grade-point average of 3.25 in all course work taken in the department of art, completed ARHS 2913 and ARHS 2923, completed at least 20 semester hours of work in art department courses, and at least 30 semester hours of general education requirements. Included in those hours, a student must complete and defend an honors thesis and take 12 hours, which may include 6 hours of thesis, in honors studies. In addition, the student must submit detailed letters of recommendation from at least two faculty members of the department of art who are willing to work with the student on his or her honors project. Higher degree distinctions take into consideration the student's entire academic career and are recommended for only those students whose hon-ors projects and programs of study demonstrate a truly exceptional degree of creativity and scholarship.

Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree

Admission: Students earning a grade-point average of 3.00 or higher in art, after the completion of the foundations requirements and who have maintained an overall grade-point average of 2.00 are eligible to make application to the B.F.A. degree program. In addition to meeting the required grade-point average, all students must submit, as part of their application, a portfolio of current representative work for evaluation by the art faculty. Acceptance into the B.F.A. program is contingent upon favorable evaluation by the art faculty of the applicant's portfolio. Upon acceptance into the B.F.A. degree program, each student will be assigned a major adviser for the purpose of completing a degree plan, which must meet departmental approval.

Transfer credit will be allowed from other accredited and recognized art departments if the credit earned is compatible with program and course requirements within the UA art department and reflects a grade of "C" or higher. This department will not accept more than 50 percent of the required B.F.A. professional degree credits from another institution.

Degree Requirements: The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree will be awarded to students, who, upon the completion of the approved program, have maintained a 3.00 grade-point average within the UA art department and a 2.00 grade-point average overall. A faculty-supervised critique of the work of each student, once each semester in the program, is re-quired. A senior review and exhibition will be required prior to the granting of the degree.

Off-campus study requirement: Each student is required to complete an approved off-campus study experience each semester in the program. This may involve a field trip to an urban center that includes visits to major art collections.
