X--Degree Programs
Department of Fine Art, College of Arts
The department offers programs that allow for concentrated study in Art History or in Studio Art, or for a more balanced study in the two disciplines. Both programs, however, require work in both Studio Art and Art History. Specific requirements are listed below.
Because of the long waiting lists for many courses, students are strongly urged to heed the University regulations regarding First Class Meetings. Refer to Limited Enrolment Courses in Section VIII--Undergraduate Degree Regulations in this calendar.
The majority of the cost of supplies must be borne by the student. In order to permit the University to subsidize this cost and to allow for savings through discount buying, some materials are obtained through the department by payment of a lab fee. The amount of the fee is established for each semester prior to registration.
The students who elect to take a substantial number of courses in either Art History or Studio Art with the objective of graduate work are advised to obtain counselling from faculty regarding their choices. However, in general, it is important to know that graduate studies in Art History will usually require a reading knowledge of at least 2 languages other than English. German, French, Italian and Latin are among the most useful choices. Cognate electives in other disciplines in the College of Arts (such as History) will almost certainly prove an asset. A Studio career to the graduate level will normally require some training in all the traditional media.
