Nature of course request C01921 :

Drop course Undergraduate

Course Prefix & Number Descriptive Title Cr. Hours
A 226 Motion & Narrative



Justification for dropping the course:
This proposal is part of a larger reorganization process to shift all studio art courses from 3 credits to 4 credits. This change will enable students to complete the program efficiently in a four-year degree plan. As a result, the reduced course load will allow students to invest more time per course and increase the potential for greater progress in each subject. This change will also ease the department¿s scheduling grid, and permit increased student access to studio equipment and workspace as students prepare artwork between class sessions. This change in credits will align our program with art programs in both the 4-year universities and 2-year community colleges in Oregon. Students transferring from quarter and/or semester academic programs will typically experience more accurate credit equivalencies with WOU art courses under this proposed system. To date, A 226 has not yet been offered. Content planned for this course will be absorbed by A 222 and A 326. The overall effect is a consolidation of introductory coursework for upper division sequences in time-based media and interactive design, streamlining the student¿s course of study for fulfilling degree requirements.
Students/Program affected:
This change will affect any student enrolling in studio art courses offered by the Art Department. It will particularly affect any student seeking a BA, BS, or BFA degree or minor offered by the Art Department, with the exception of art history.
