All entering first-year students in the College of Art and Design must complete the Foundation Program before they formally declare then enter a major program beginning in the second year of study. The Foundation Program provides a thorough introduction to further work in all visual arts and design fields, through courses in Drawing, Two-dimensional design, Three-dimensional design and Time Motion. Students also chose half courses in two different fields of art and design as a way of exploring options and possibilities. Finally, all students complete required work in the liberal arts program —First-year Writing courses and a two-semester survey of Art History.

Foundation Year Credits: 33


All Freshman students (and transfer students who lack sufficient background in the visual arts and design) enter the 18-credit Foundation core program that includes courses in drawing, two-dimensional design, three-dimensional design and time-motion studies. The Foundation program introduces the basic language and processes of the visual arts and prepares the students for entry into a major department. Through Freshman elective course offerings, students are introduced to major course options and opportunities offered by the College of Art and Design.

Foundation students are eligible to select any College of Art and Design major program regardless of the Foundation sequence they complete.
