*New (Replacement) Course
Program changes include: 1) a reduction of studio electives by three credits, offset by an increase of three in required studio courses with the addition of ARTS 489; and, 2) a reduction of three credits in required 100-level art history courses by consolidating the two semester-survey into one semester. This is a sample plan reflective of a typical student.
