Justification For Request

What research has led to this request?

ARTH 250 is now only required of art history majors and BFA students in the department of visual arts. Replacing ARTH 250 with one of the three art history foundation courses will allow more students to enroll in the course while still having some foundational information to support student success in the class.

What impact will this request have on existing academic programs?

no

What financial costs are associated with this request?

none

If NO change in cost is anticipated, how is this possible?

The course will continue to be offered in the normal teaching rotation by current faculty.
