Fine and Performing Arts Minor Program
School for the Contemporary Arts | Faculty of Communication, Art and Technology
丁香园AV Calendar 2012 Spring
the school also offers a fine and performing arts (FPA) minor which can be completed by FPA students or those in any other 丁香园AV major program. The program accommodates a range of fine and performing arts interests, but some exposure to both the practical and theoretical aspects of art is assured by the lower division studio course requirement and the upper division seminar in art and culture studies.
丁香园AV Requirements
Program and course admission is contingent upon University admission. Contact Student Services for admission procedures, requirements and deadlines. Entry to all programs and to many courses is by audition, interview or application. Contact the school鈥檚 office for information on procedures and deadlines.
Although the University operates on a trimester system, most FPA courses are planned in a two term (fall and spring) sequence. Consequently, students enter in the fall term (September) and are advised to contact the school in the preceding January for program entry and requirements information.
Transfer Credit and Advanced Standing
Unassigned or general elective (type 2 and 3, respectively) transfer credit awarded for courses completed at other recognized post-secondary institutions will not automatically entitle students to advanced standing in the school鈥檚 programs. Advanced standing is generally given on an individual basis as a result of an audition or interview.
About the School鈥檚 Course Offerings
Students are encouraged to take advantage of interdisciplinary offerings within the school. As many programs depend on a continuing sequence of courses completed in order, students should plan carefully to gain the maximum benefit and efficiency from their study. Note that not all courses are offered every term and several are offered on a rotational basis, i.e. every third or fourth term. An advisor is available to help plan study programs.
Students are reminded that the school is an interdisciplinary fine and performing arts department, and are strongly advised to acquaint themselves with the many disciplinary courses that are available.
