If necessary, the student may be required to present a portfolio

representing every area of his or her work in visual communication

design and/or studio art courses at the University. The portfolio

should include original two-dimensional work and a CD of images

of three-dimensional work. Students who do not pass their

sophomore review will not be allowed to continue in the major.

Transfer Review

university and enroll at Cedarville University as either an industrial

and innovative design, studio art, and visual communication

design major on the junior or senior level must submit along with

their application a CD or DVD with images of two- and three-

dimensional work representing collegiate classroom work and art

done outside the classroom. The art and design faculty will review

this material 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

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,

senior capstone project in research, production, internship, or

performance design or directing to graduate. The nature of the
