Students interested in a major or minor in Art & Art History must complete coursework in both studio art and art history. FA 131: Drawing I is the prerequisite for all upper-level studio courses and is open to first year students. FA 116: Survey of Art History I (HUM) and FA 117: Survey of Art II (HUM) are also open to first-year students. You can take Survey of Art II without taking Survey of Art I. Students must take one of the survey courses for the major/minor and as a prerequisite for upper-level art history courses. The requirements for the major will change beginning fall 2011.
