41 credit hours required.

The Art Studio major is designed to provide students with a broad-based   education in the traditional fine art studio areas as well as to introduce   relevant historical, theoretical and critical issues. Studio Concentrations   are available in ceramics, digital design, painting, photography,   printmaking and sculpture. These require four upper-division courses   in the studio area of choice. A Studio Concentration is suggested for   those students wishing to enter graduate programs or seeking a career as a professional artist.

All courses are 3 credits unless noted. Credits are divided as follows:

Special Notes
Art Studio majors have the option of completing 50 credit hours           in the Art Department toward the 120 credit hours necessary for           the B.A. degree. Students are required to complete 70 credit hours outside the Art Department. Students may elect to take supplemental           art courses beyond the 50-semester-hour maximum. These will           be included on the transcript, but will not be counted toward the completion of the degree. All courses counted toward the major must be completed with a           grade of 2.0 or above.
