Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

 

APC Document  48:                  Adding Undergraduate Research to Art History

 

 

Effective Date:  Fall 2007

 

 

1.   Add:           On pg 67, after the entry for ARTH 480

 

                                    499       Undergraduate Research in Art History (1-6)

Independent research under the supervision of a faculty mentor. An IP grade may be awarded at discretion of instructor. May be repeated for a total of 6 hours credit. See department chair.

 

 

Impact: 

At present, both studio Art and Art History majors complete undergraduate research studies under the same course prefix (ART 499).  By adding this course in Art History, student work completed for UGR in Art History (ARTH 499) would be clearly distinguished from the course in Studio Art (ART 499). 

 

Rationale:  

Students majoring in Art History should receive credit for their Undergraduate Research projects under an Art History (ARTH) prefix rather an Art (ART).
