* If a course satisfies both the EREG and ERGU requirements, students will be given credit for one of the attributes and need to take a course that fulfills the other attribute.
Notes: A grade of C or higher is required for those classes used as prerequisites for another (i.e.: ART 112A, B, D, E; ART 225A, B; and any 200-level course for required major or advanced electives in art).
Transfer Students: Transfer students should contact the department for a review of credentials and placement at least 30 days before the beginning of the term for which entry is desired. Visit the transfer credit website to find course equivalency guides.
