the junior or senior level must submit along with their application

before acceptance into the program is granted.
Art and Design Requirements
Art and Design Student Handbook
The Art and Design Student Handbook is an overview of all
department policy as it applies to the student. Each art and design
student is responsible for following the policies and procedures
contained in both the handbook and the University catalog.
Capstone Exhibition or Project
In addition to the expectation of participation in student and
other exhibitions throughout the college experience, all art and
design majors are required to exhibit a level of performance for
graduation that meets the requirements and standards of the
department. For all majors, the capstone requirement is a senior
exhibition or project as approved by the department Chair.
Fees
Lab classes that provide supplies and/or University-provided
equipment require fees. These fees do not necessarily cover all
the costs for student art materials or personal tools. A portion of
the lab fees is utilized for program expenses and costs incurred
that directly and indirectly support the needs for program courses.
Theatre Requirements
Students complete courses in the history, theory, research,
and ethics of theatre. Students are required to complete a
senior capstone project in research, production, internship, or
performance design or directing to graduate. The nature of the
project is determined by the emphasis area of the student.
