Program Change:
P00622
Program Title: Art Major
Undergraduate
Describe the proposed degree program change(s) in terms of how the changes differ from the program as currently approved and published in the latest WOU catalog (specify the latest catalog date).
The Art major description will not change in the WOU catalog, however the number of graphic design options for upper-division sequences will be limited. Students taking the Art major may elect to take A220, A221, A320, A321, and A322 as a graphic design component in the Art Major. The two other upper division sequences required in the art major must be taken in one or two of the following focus areas: drawing, ceramics, painting, printmaking, or sculpture.
Students wishing to take visual communication design courses in two or three upper division sequence topics must follow the Visual Communication Design major requirements. Students wishing to take sequences in Interactive Design, Advanced Print Design, or Digital Motion will major in Visual Communication Design, rather than Art.
Describe the reasons for making this change:
Art faculty feel that the number of students taking graphic design warrants a major that allows them to focus specifically in the subject area, while continuing to include art fundamentals as the core skill set in the major. Creating a new major with unique prerequisites allows us to use current faculty and facilities more efficiently and eliminate some of the schedule conflicts that occurred when the advanced Graphic Design sequences were embedded in the studio art major.
For Dean Review only:
How and when will the effectiveness of these changes be determined?
Assessment procedures include pre- and post-testing and capstone portfolio requirements specific to the subject areas.
