ART MAJOR COMPLETION OPTIONS (1-19 CREDITS)
Prerequisite: Junior level standing, only available at Parkside (ART 392)
Students take either the Senior Critique Seminar capstone course to complete the standard 48 credit art major or they may choose one of three concentrations to complete their major. Students must have at least a 2.75 grade point average in the major to pursue a concentration. To earn the concentration, the minimum 2.75 grade point average in the major must also be met.

Standard Art Major | Capstone | 1 credit
Prerequisite: Senior level standing. Senior Critique Seminar is only available at Parkside (ART 497)

Note for students choosing the standard art major without a concentration
Students should be aware that the standard 48 credit art major has a limited number of built-in upper division courses. Without the added concentration course work, students may need to select additional upper division courses in order to meet the university’s graduation requirement of 36 upper division credits for a bachelor’s degree. These same students may also need to be prepared to take additional credits toward the 120 credits required for graduation. These credits can be gained by working toward a minor or certificate or by taking elective credits.
