Suggested Schedule for Art, Science, and Innovation majors:

Comments:

1. There is a significant science component to this major (4 courses) that should be started early in the student’s program, because science classes are often hierarchical and strictly sequenced. The science module is intended to be highly customizable by the student. Students should consult with a major advisor as soon as possible to consider meaningful choices.  
2. ART 580 Junior Seminar is now offered both Fall and Spring semesters. It is recommended that students plan to take ART 580 in the spring of their junior year, but it is possible to do the Junior Seminar / Senior Project sequence in the Fall and Spring of the senior year. Prerequisite is two studio art classes and an Art History course. It is strongly recommended that students have also taken a 200-level studio art course prior to ART 580.

Art, Science, and Innovation: Transfer Guidelines

Suggested pathway for Art, Science, and Innovation majors who transfer and expect to complete in 3 years. Ideally, these students will already have completed two of their required four science courses and have taken a course in studio art.

Issues to Consider: 

1. ASI is an interdisciplinary program. Although it is situated primarily in the Art Department, many requirements are fulfilled by courses in other departments. Students must meet the expectations of each separate department when transferring those disciplinary courses to count in an ASI major or minor. 
2. A 3-credit transfer course with a similar description and course content will be accepted to fulfill a 4-credit requirement in the Art Department. However, the transfer student must still overall meet the minimum number of credit hours required, which might necessitate taking or transferring elective courses in Art.
3. Art Appreciation or similar courses will transfer as elective credits in Art but cannot be used to fulfill any requirement of a major or minor in the Art Department, including ASI.
4. Pathways through the ASI program are highly individualized according to the student’s future plans. Please consult with an ASI advisor to determine which options are best.
5. Students are most likely to transfer the courses below:
