Studio6 Photography

[Gabby Dreher]

AnArt, Media, and Design major provides students with the opportunity to choose a focus that best corresponds to the career path they expect to pursue, and prepares them for a variety of occupations. Professions include creative practice in graphic and media design, video and audio production, studio art, public and community art, performance art, photojournalism and photography. The degree also prepares students for careers in art criticism, curatorial work in traditional and new media art, and graduate studies or professional programs.

Each course counted toward the major must be completed with a grade of C (2.0) or better. The B.A. in Art, Media, and Design maintains the same general Undergraduate Admissions and Graduation Requirements and/or transfer policies/requirements described in the CSUSM catalog.

All Art, Media, and Design majors must meet a second-language proficiency requirement. This is satisfied with a 200-level class or demonstrating proficiency in a language other than English. For details on how to satisfy this requirement, please refer to Language Proficiency Requirement .

Additional course in Upper Division Arts and Humanities (CC designated) outside the major. This requirement can also count as the CC requirement in Upper Division General Education, but it must be taken in an Arts and Humanities or Interdisciplinary program other than Art, Media, and Design. Any course carrying the CC designation outside of Art, Media, and Design can be used to fulfill this requirement. If a student chooses to satisfy their UDGE CC outside the major, the breadth requirement will become 3 free elective units.

The option in Art and Visual Culture (AVC) offers students introductory and advanced instruction in drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, installation art, as well as choices in graphic and media design, photography, and other new media fields. The curriculum is flexible and encourages both traditional and digital media.
