12 credits Art specialization, a sequence of 200- and 300-level courses in one of the following disciplines: ceramics, computer imaging, design, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture.

4. Rationale: The changes in Studio Art degree-requirements principally reflect the Art Department’s proposed decision to raise all Studio Art courses from 2 to 3 credits. Though the particular reasons for raising credit-hours are explained in each course-proposal (attached), we summarize our overall rationale here in order to clarify the several changes in our overall degree-requirements. Existing problems and proposed resolutions:

1. Disparity in credit-hours among Studio Art courses. All courses updated or created since 1995 have been assigned 4 hours and 3 credits, which has created a disparity between pre- and post-1995 courses. We seek to resolve this disparity by assigning all Studio courses 4 hours and 3 credits.

2. Disparity in degree-requirements for Studio Art majors. The difference in credit-hours among Studio courses means that different Studio specializations have different credit-requirements, which creates a credit-disparity among students within the Studio major. We seek to resolve this disparity by crediting Studio courses in a way that ensures that all Studio Art majors complete the same number of credit-hours.

3. Financial-aid repercussions. Uneven credit-hours and course-requirements place a burden on some Studio students who seek financial aid (and therefore need 15 credits to fulfill TAP credit requirements). We seek to relieve this burden by ensuring adequate and equal credit-hours for all courses and specializations within the Studio major.

4. Disparity with Studio Art courses at other CUNY senior colleges. Several of our older 2-credit Studio courses do not correspond (in credit-hours alone) to equivalent 3-credit courses elsewhere in CUNY, one consequence of which is that transfers end up with higher credit-hours in the major than “native” Lehman students. We seek to match the Studio courses at other CUNY Art departments in order to do away with this unnecessary credit-disparity.

The current proposal changes the overall Degree Requirements from 38-41 credits to 42 credits for all Studio Art students. As noted above, this change reflects the credit-changes in individual Studio courses and enables the Department to offer credit-equity for all Art majors. The Studio major itself maintains its pre-existing structure: it establishes a strong foundation in Art and Art History, exposes students to a variety of art media, and provides for intensive specialization in a particular medium. This proposal changes the number of credits for the Foundation requirement from 12 credits to 15 credits. Students still take the same five Foundation


3

courses; the increased credit-hours only reflect the increase in credit-hours assigned to three of these five courses. This proposal changes the number of credits for the General Studio requirement from12-14 variable credits to 9 fixed credits. Limiting students to three General Studio courses enables the Department to expose students to several introductory courses in Studio Art, while reserving credit-hours for their capstone Specialization courses. This proposal changes the number of credits for the Art Specialization requirement from 8-9 variable credits to 12 fixed credits. Requiring students to take four courses in a particular area of Art Specialization prepares them to achieve their academic goals as Art majors at Lehman College. 5.

The B.F.A. program is open to students who indicate real promise for doing creative work and wish to pursue a more intensive program in studio art. Candidates for the B.F.A. program should file an application with the Art Department before the second semester of their junior year. The application, which includes an essay, faculty recommendations, a listing of ART and ARH courses taken (with grades), and examples of the candidate's work, must be reviewed and approved by a faculty committee before acceptance into the program. Credits (60): 18 credits Foundation requirement consisting of: ART 100, 101, 102,

108 , 112, and ARH 167. 9 credits General Art History requirement consisting of three Art

History courses, at least one of which must be at the 100 level. ARH 167 cannot be counted toward this requirement.

12 credits General Studio work to be selected from 100-, 200-, or 300- level ART courses.

15 credits Art Specialization, a sequence of 200-, 300-, and 400-level courses (ART 486 may be counted in this category) in one of the following disciplines: ceramics, computer imaging, design, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, or sculpture. Students should consult the Department for specific courses that constitute a sequence.

6 credits Advanced Elective, which may include: ART (CGI) 451, ART (CGI) 480, ART (CGI) 481 ART 486, ART 487, ART 494, ART 496.

NO MINOR REQUIRED 4. Rationale: The proposed change in Degree Requirements reflects the Art Department’s proposed change of all Studio Art courses from 2 credits to 3 credits. This change in credit-hours ensures that all students take the same number of courses for the same number of credits in order to earn the same degree.*

The current proposal changes the overall Degree Requirements from 58-60 variable credits to 60 fixed credits for all BFA students. The variable range, previously needed to accommodate differences in course-credits, is no longer needed. In this proposal, we increase the number of credits required to fulfill the Foundation requirement from 14 credits to 18 credits. Students still take the same six Foundation courses; the increased credit-hours only reflect the increase in credit-hours assigned to four of these six courses.


6

Also in this proposal, we change the credit-requirement for General Studio from 13-14 variable credits to a fixed 12-credit requirement. At the same time we change the Art Specialization requirement from 14-15 variable credits to 15 fixed credits. These changes both reflect the rise of 3-credit Studio courses and the need to keep the total credit-requirement of the BFA within the mandated 60-credit limit.

This proposal changes what the Department thought of as the “Professional Experience” requirement into what it now identifies as Advanced Electives. This newly labeled and expanded category gives students and faculty more flexibility in choosing courses tailored to individual student’s specified learning objectives. Electives can be chosen from courses providing advanced study in a particular specialization, courses providing opportunities for individual research, or courses providing for internships and professional experience. We are adding the language “No Minor Required” to correct a previous oversight in the catalog. * Changes reflect the Art Department’s proposed decision to raise all Studio Art courses from 2 to 3 credits. Though the particular reasons for raising credit-hours are explained in each course-proposal (attached), we summarize our overall rationale here in order to clarify the several changes in our overall degree-requirements. Existing problems and proposed resolutions:



3. Financial-aid repercussions. Uneven credit-hours and course-requirements place a burden on some Studio students who seek financial aid (and therefore need 15 credits to fulfill TAP credit requirements). We seek to relieve this burden by ensuring adequate and equal credit-hours for all courses and specializations within the Studio major.

4. Rationale: The proposed change in Degree Requirements reflects the Art Department’s proposed change of all Studio Art courses from 2 credits to 3 credits. This change in credit-hours ensures that all students take the same number of courses for the same number of credits in order to earn the same degree.*

The current proposal changes the overall Degree Requirements from 54 credits to 58 credits for all Computer Graphics and Imaging students majoring in Art. This change only reflects the credit-changes in studio art. There is no other change to degree requirements. The proposal changes the number of credits for the Art requirement in the Computer Graphics and Imaging major from 14 to 18 credits. Students choose six Art courses (out of eight offered); the increased credit-hours only reflect the increase in credit-hours assigned to five of these courses (out of which students choose four). * Changes reflect the Art Department’s proposed decision to raise all Studio Art courses from 2 to 3 credits. Though the particular reasons for raising credit-hours are explained in each course-proposal (attached), we summarize our overall rationale here in order to clarify the several changes in our overall degree-requirements.

CURRICULUM CHANGE

1. Type of Change: Credits, Hours, Course Description

2. From: ART 100: Basic Drawing. 4 hours, [2] credits. [The study of materials for drawing and their practical application in the representation of objects through form, line, value, texture, and perspective.] 3. To: ART 100: Basic Drawing. 4 hours (2 lecture, 2 lab), 3 credits. Introduction to drawing with an emphasis on developing perceptual skills. Study of line, value, placement, and perspective using still life and interiors. Black-and-white materials used. Introduction to artists who use drawing as the focus of their artistic practice. 4. Rationale: The Art Department has several reasons for proposing the change of credits and description for this course:

1. The change in both credit-hours and course-description reflects the expansion of the course’s lecture component to allow for deeper examination of theory and criticism, on the one hand, and of historical and contemporary influences, on the other. The change also reflects the greater emphasis that the redesigned course places on students’ experiential learning, as they demonstrate their practical mastery of the course’s concepts and techniques.

2. The change in credit-hours also seeks to redress an historical disparity in credit-hours among Studio Art courses. All courses updated or created since 1995 have been assigned 4 hours and 3 credits, which has created a disparity with pre-1995 courses that have only 2 credits. We seek to resolve this disparity by assigning this and all Studio courses 4 hours and 3 credits.

3. The change in credit-hours also seeks to redress an imbalance within the Studio Art major. The difference in credit-hours among Studio courses means that different specializations have different credit-requirements, which creates a credit-disparity among students within the Studio major. We seek to resolve this disparity by crediting Studio courses in a way that ensures that all Studio majors complete the same number of credit-hours.

4. The change in credit-hours, reflecting as it does deepened and broadened course material and experience, will permit Studio Art majors to qualify for full-time financial aid (TAP) while carrying a course-load consistent with academic success. As of November 2010, TAP requires 15 credits, which currently compels some Studio Art majors to register for an unmanageable


13

8 classes each semester, while others need only register for 5. We seek to establish parity across all concentrations within the Studio Art major.

5. Awarding three credits for this course aligns it with equivalent courses offered by other CUNY senior colleges, including Brooklyn, Queens, Hunter, and CCNY. Currently, several of our older 2-credit Studio courses do not correspond (in credit-hours alone) to parallel 3-credit courses elsewhere in CUNY. One consequence of this situation is that transfers to Lehman often end up with higher credit-hours in the Studio major than “native” Lehman students. We seek to match the Studio courses at other CUNY Art departments in order to do away with this unnecessary credit-disparity.

6. Finally, this course’s credit-imbalance affects students wishing to minor in Studio Art. The Studio Art Minor requires a total of 12 credits above the 100-level. This requirement currently forces students minoring in particular concentrations to take as many as 8 courses (32 contact hours), even as it enables others to get by with as few as 5 courses (20 contact hours). Again, we seek to establish parity across all concentrations within the Studio Art minor.
