Program Change List #1 |
Department of Art
SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
Art
Justification: The Art Department has had a minimum
grade of “C- “ for all courses required for the undergraduate
major in Studio Art (from the CSUS Catalog: “Courses applied to
the major must be completed with a grade of ‘C-‘ or higher”).
There has been no minimum grade in any of the courses applied towards
the Department’s three minors. The Art faculty have agreed to: (1)
raise the minimum grade in courses required for the major from “C-
“ to “C”; (2) require a minimum grade of “C”
in all courses used towards the minors in Art Education, Art History,
and Art Studio.
Note: The new Art History concentration already requires
a minimum grade of “C” in all courses applied towards the
concentration.

the minimum grade policy.

Department of Music
SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE
Bachelor of Music – Jazz
Studies concentration
The Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies is a new concentration
for the Department of Music. This request refines and clarifies the numbering
and sequencing of coursework within the concentration. This proposal asks
to renumber two upper division courses, Jazz Theory & Improvisation
I and II, to lower division numbers as we expect these courses to be taken
during the sophomore year and to articulate with similar courses at the
community colleges.
