Studio Arts Major
ART AND ART HISTORY / 289
This program of study provides a broad foundation in
fundamental techniques and concepts and permits
each individual to experience the possibilities of creative
expression and to develop an understanding of art as a key
to cultural awareness. Students in Studio Arts are expected
to engage in studio work in addition to scheduled class
time. Most studios are open to enrolled students outside of
class time on a 24-hour basis. At the end of the sophomore
year, students are required to declare an Art Education, Fine
Arts, Graphic Design, or Multimedia Arts Emphasis.
A minimum grade of C (2.0) must be obtained in each
course included in the major requirements.
Art Education Emphasis
The Art Education Emphasis provides experience in the
studio arts and art history appropriate for those interested
in pursuing teaching careers. Students interested in art
education are encouraged to pursue either an Art Education
Emphasis or an Art Education Emphasis with State of
California Secondary Teaching Credential. Students who
seek graduation with an Art Education Emphasis and a
teaching credential should ideally declare the Art Education
Emphasis as a freshman.
Major Requirements
The Art Education Emphasis is in the process of being revised
based on the new Standards of Quality and Effectiveness
for Subject Matter Programs of the Commission on Teacher
Credentialing. The new program will start Fall 2007. For
candidates starting their program on or after Fall 2007,
please consult the Art Education Coordinator. Courses listed
here represent the types of program requirements during
past years.
