Notes

This table includes only discipline-specific courses.

  1. The introductory survey courses, ART 1360 and ART 1361, are required for all undergraduates in the Department of Visual Arts (Bachelor of Fine Arts; Major in Visual Arts; Major and Minor in Art History) and are prerequisites for all compulsory 3000-level courses, so should therefore be taken in first year to ensure graduation on time.
  2. Other courses may be selected in consultation with the Department.
