Catalog 2013-2014

Four-Year Degree Plan for a Major in Art with a Concentration in Photography

Note that this is a sample four-year plan. There are other course sequences that will allow a student to graduate within four years as long as prerequisites courses are taken in the proper sequence. This sample plan does not guarantee course availability, and adjustments to students' plans may be necessary if they are unable to take specific courses during specific semesters. Students who are placed into lower level FYW, MAT or other prerequisite courses will need to adjust their four-year plans accordingly. Similarly, students who bring in Advanced Placement, Dual Enrollment or transfer credit for courses will need to adjust their four-year plans. A minimum of a 2.0 GPA both overall and in the major is required for gradation. In addition to major requirements, all components of the Baccalaureate Experience must be completed in order to successfully graduate.
