course plans
Below are several possible course sequences for undergraduate students interested in focusing on specific areas of Critical Art+Design. In each sequence, more courses are listed than could possibly be taken, given that these courses must fit within a larger four-year plan that also includes breadth courses and such foundational Studio Art courses as the 1A-B-C series. Only core intermediate and advanced courses are highlighted. Thus, students are encouraged to use these sequences merely as initial idea templates from which to create their own study plans, tailored much more closely to their mix of interests and skills.
