Art Major
The goal of the Art Major is to provide students with a broad-based general education in studio art (by requiring them to take a range of courses across media and in art history) and to create a framework that encourages students to develop knowledge, skills, and ideas within a single medium (via sequences of courses - basic, intermediate, and advanced - within media).
The Art Major consists of eleven units including a four-unit core and six upper-level courses and an elective as follows:
Core Courses (four units):
Select 2 from 2-D basic classes (ART 111, 121, 131, 151)

ARTH 151 Art, Culture, & Society II or ARTH 276 The Arts of the United States or ARTH 286 Modern Art and Architecture or ARTH 296 Global Contempoary Art and Architecture
Art majors must complete seven additional units of art courses:
