Professors Clark, Escalante, Feren, Loeser, Lowe, Marschalek, Myers, Nelson, Pylant, Rosenberg, Scheer (chair), Solien; Associate Professors Buisch, Connors, Georgiades, Gralnick, Hitchcock, Marc, Mladenoff, Simpson, Verna; Assistant Professors Cridler, Hilyard, Jones, McClure, Miller
Degrees granted: B.S. in Art, B.S. in Art Education, Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.), M.A. in Art, M.A. in Art Education, and Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.). A Ph.D. with a minor in Art Education is offered jointly with the Department of Curriculum and Instruction.
The Department of Art conducts an exemplary experimental undergraduate program emphasizing the importance of a broad background in the basics of visual arts, liberal arts and knowledge of the history and purpose of art. The nationally and internationally recognized faculty of visual artists provides a stimulating educational environment to prepare students for careers in a broad array of creative fields and/or graduate study. The program also supports and encourages the development of a visually literate community.
The art department offers two professional programs, Art and Art Education. Art majors may pursue either the Bachelor of Science degree or the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Art Education majors receive the Bachelor of Science-Art Education degree and eligibility for licensure to teach in elementary and secondary schools. Entrance requirements vary for each program; see below. For exhibition purposes, the department may temporarily retain one piece of work from each student in art studio courses. All degree programs are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD).
Undergraduate Art Department Program Advisor: Julie Ganser, 6241 Humanities Building, 455 North Park Street, ganser@education.wisc.edu; Appointments: 608/262-1660.
The four-year undergraduate program in art is for students interested in pursuing careers in visual arts. It is also a program for students who seek to develop and define their visual literacy. The Bachelor of Science (BS) degree program in Art is divided into four areas of study. Liberal studies courses expose students to a broad range of academic disciplines. Aesthetics course work gives students an opportunity to study both the history of Art and contemporary developments in the visual arts. Major requirements offer an in-depth study of studio art. Students begin taking courses in the Foundations area, then complete courses in each of three studio areas, 2D, 3D, and Graphics. Students are encouraged to pursue a concentration in one of the three areas. Finally, students completing the B.S. degree program in Art have a large number of elective credits built into their program requirements. These can be used to pursue individual areas of interest such as a double major or additional studio credits.
The Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) degree program in Art differs from the BS-Art degree by requiring a larger number of studio and aesthetic courses, thereby eliminating the requirement of additional non-studio elective credits. This degree program is most often pursued by students who wish to develop a visual art portfolio in preparation for a career as a professional artist and/or for graduate study. The Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) degree program in Art is divided into three areas of study, including liberal studies courses, aesthetics course work, and major requirements described above. The large number of required studio courses eliminates the elective credits available in the Bachelor of Science option.
Both Art degree programs currently admit students to begin in the fall, spring, and summer.
Eligibility for admission consideration to the B.S. Art degree program requires:
Eligibility for admission consideration to the B.F.A. program also requires:
Note: B.F.A. eligibility and graduation requirements will change effective fall 2008 program admission. New eligibility requirements include sophomore standing, a portfolio review, the completion of additional prerequisite course work, and a 3.0 GPA in studio course work. Consult the online catalog or EAS Web site for details.
New freshmen attend the School of Education's group session at SOAR and declare art as the intended major.
Students in this category include current undergraduates or graduate students at other institutions, current on-campus graduate students, current University special students (through Division of Continuing Studies), students who completed their undergraduate degree elsewhere or at UW-Madison but who have not been enrolled at UW-Madison since earning that degree, UW-Madison students who have not been or will not be enrolled at UW—Madison for the semester preceding admission, and UW-Madison students who will be earning a degree in the semester preceding admission.
B.F.A. candidates cannot transfer directly into the B.F.A. program, but will be admitted with an ART classification. Students can then apply for the B.F.A. program once enrolled on the UW-Madison campus. Students who have already completed an undergraduate degree should consult the Students with a Previous Degree section of this catalog.
2.5 cumulative GPA; 2.5 in both major and upper level major course work; major and senior residency. Retroactive credits and credits by exam do not count toward residency requirements. A minimum of 120 credits to include at least 62 non-studio credits are required for graduation in the Art-B.S. degree program. A minimum of 126 credits are required for graduation in the Art-B.F.A. degree program. Grade point averages required for graduation may be modified by the Last 60 Credits Rule.
Admission criteria and program requirements may be modified from one admission period to the next. The most current program information is available in Education Academic Services, B117 Education Building, 608/262-1651; www.education.wisc.edu/eas.
The liberal studies requirements combine academic strengths and interests with an opportunity to explore a wide selection of courses offered across campus. Students will complete course work in humanities, social studies, and science. Effective summer 2007, new freshmen will complete 40 credits of liberal studies course work, including three additional requirements; ethnic studies, global perspectives, and U.S. or European history will be required of all students in the School of Education. For specific course work, see Liberal Studies Requirements.
Courses required for the art major and aesthetics requirements may not be applied toward the liberal studies requirement for students completing the Art-B.S. degree. B.F.A. candidates may apply some aesthetics course work toward the liberal studies requirements.
Effective summer, 1996, new freshmen must complete a group of campus-wide course requirements known as the General Education requirements. This initiative is designed to provide all UW-Madison students with a comprehensive, well-rounded program of studies. See General Education Requirements.
Effective fall, 1989, students beginning a degree program at UW-Madison (freshmen, transfers, and second degree candidates) must complete one course of at least 3 credits which is designated as an Ethnic Studies course. The ethnic studies requirement is intended to increase understanding of the culture and contributions of persistently marginalized racial or ethnic groups in the United States, and to equip students to respond constructively to issues connected with our pluralistic society and global community. Designated with an e in the UW-Madison Timetable, ethnic studies course work may, in the absence of other restrictions, be applied toward other degree requirements. Effective, summer, 2007, this requirement became part of the liberal studies requirement.
The Foundations Program is a series of related studio and lecture courses to be taken by art majors in their first year as preparation for further study in studio art and design. The program addresses the fundamentals of art through investigation of formal, technical and conceptual issues. The classes are meant to be taken concurrently and the information covered in them is interrelated, creating a network of corresponding experiences and a peer community that will continue throughout the program.
Incoming freshman art majors have the option of enrolling in Art 102, 112 and 108 in the fall and Art 104, 212 and 208 in the spring. These courses have controlled enrollment and seats are guaranteed for freshman art majors only. The lecture classes are designed to expose, broaden, and challenge students' understanding of contemporary art production. Foundations of Contemporary Art and Current Directions in Contemporary Art introduce historical, thematic, critical and theoretical issues to foundation students, contextualizing and augmenting their studio assignments and expanding their verbal and visual vocabulary.
Bachelor of Science Program: Complete a minimum of 43 studio credits, including the specific course work below. No more than 58 studio credits will be counted toward the minimum 120 credits required for the BS degree. Thus, if a student wishes to graduate with the minimum of 120 credits, 62 of these credits must be "non-studio" course work.
Bachelor of Fine Arts Program: Complete a minimum of 72 credits, including the specific course work below. The BFA degree requires 126 total credits. Admission to the program currently requires completion of Art 102, 104, 108, 208, 112, 212, 222, and 232 or 312; changes in admission eligibility requirements are pending.
Major residency requirement for both options. Effective fall 1998, new freshmen must complete at least 24 credits of major (i.e., studio) course work in residence on the UW-Madison campus. Students beginning as new freshmen before fall 1998 must complete a minimum of 15 upper level studio credits on the UW-Madison campus. Upper level classes include Art department courses numbered 214 and above, excluding 236, 246 and 338.

The program in art education prepares students to teach art in public and private elementary and secondary schools; and for education roles in various other institutions (e.g., museums). Graduates are eligible for licensure in the State of Wisconsin in art education at both the elementary and secondary levels.
Undergraduate art majors generally apply to the Art Education Certification program in their junior year (see below for specific requirements). Students who possess a B.S., B.F.A., or advanced degree in visual arts and seek certification in Art Education follow application procedures listed below.
The Art Education program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison follows admission procedures intended to result in an academically qualified student body as varied as possible in terms of academic- strengths, life experiences, and professional experiences. As the population of our nationˆ‚s public schools becomes increasingly multicultural, there is a growing need for teachers from diverse backgrounds. The art education faculty encourages qualified applicants from under-represented groups to apply for admission to the art education program. In addition, the faculty wish to broaden the field of art education; individuals representing a wide range of visual arts and design are encouraged to apply. A diverse cohort of students enriches the Art Education Teacher Certification Program as well as the profession in meeting the needs of pupils, society, and emerging local, regional and global challenges while ensuring that all students are afforded an art education that is broad in terms of visual arts, design, and multiple perspectives.
Students not yet eligible to apply to the professional component of the Art Education program may be admitted to the School of Education as an Art student (ART classification). This classification does not guarantee acceptance to the professional program or benefit students in the application process. New freshmen and transfer students are admitted directly to the Art program at admission. Current UW-Madison students seeking the ART classification must complete an application form signed by the undergraduate advisor in the department. Call 262-1660 to schedule an appointment. Admission with a ART classification requires a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5, based on all UW-Madison course work. This admission GPA may be modified by the Last 60 Credits rule. New students and off-campus transfer students wishing to enter UW-Madison with an ART classification must apply through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. The deadline for applying for fall and summer session admission is February 1; the deadline to apply for spring semester admission is October 1.
Off-campus transfer students must be admitted to UW-Madison and will need to meet transfer admission expectations, see www.admissions.wisc.edu.
Admission to Art Education (AED classification) is limited and may be competitive. Because the number of qualified applicants can exceed program resources, meeting or surpassing the minimum eligibility criteria will not guarantee admission.
Individuals may apply to the program beginning in March and are admitted once a year, during the fall semester, to begin a three-semester professional program in the succeeding spring semester. Eligible applicants who submit applications before October 1 will be given priority admission consideration; all application materials must be received in Education Academic Services (EAS) by October 1. Eligible applicants who submit applications after the initial October 1 deadline may be considered, but only if program openings remain. No applications or other application materials will be accepted after December 1.
To be eligible for admission to the Art Education program, a student must:
In addition to the above requirements, applicants must also submit the following:
Applicants not currently enrolled in an undergraduate program at UW-Madison must also submit an undergraduate application to the UW-Madison Office of Undergraduate Admissions. The deadline for applying for spring admission is October 1. Off-campus transfer students must be admitted to UW-Madison and will need to meet transfer admission expectations, see www.admissions.wisc.edu.
All qualified applicants will be reviewed individually by the Art Education faculty. The committee will consider numerous factors when selecting a diverse student cohort:
Candidates will be provisionally admitted and notified of their admission status by the end of the fall semester. Letters offering admission will specify a deadline for acceptance of this offer. Applicants must respond to EAS by this date; those who do not will forfeit their position. Admission is not final until a response is received by EAS and program eligibility is confirmed through fall-semester grades.
2.5 cumulative GPA (may change in response to new teacher licensing requirements); 2.75 GPA in major and also upper-level major course work; 2.75 in professional education course work (excluding practicum and student teaching); major and senior residency requirements; minimum of 120 credits. Retroactive credits and credits by exam do not count toward residency requirements. Graduation grade point averages may be modified by the Last 60 Credits Rule. Certification also requires passing a content examination in the subject area(s) in which certification is sought.
Admission criteria and program requirements may be modified from one admission period to the next. The most current program information is available in Education Academic Services, B117 Education Building, 608/26 2-1651; www.education.wisc.edu/eas.
The liberal studies requirements combine academic strengths and interests with an opportunity to explore a wide selection of courses offered across campus. Students will complete course work in humanities, social studies, and science. Effective summer, 2007, three additional requirements—ethnic studies, global perspectives, and U.S. or European history—will be required of all students in the School of Education. For specific course work, see Teacher Certification Liberal Studies Requirements.
Effective summer 1996, new freshmen must complete a group of campus-wide course requirements known as the General Education requirements. This initiative is designed to provide all UW-Madison students with a comprehensive, well-rounded program of studies. See General Education Requirements.
The Art Education program already requires some of the courses approved to meet General Education (also known as "Gen Ed" or "GER") requirements. See below. The courses can be used to meet both requirements. For example, Curric 305 also meets Communication Part B of the General Education requirements.

The Foundations Program is a series of related studio and lecture courses to be taken by art majors in their first year as preparation for further study in studio art and design. The program addresses the fundamentals of art through investigation of formal, technical and conceptual issues. The classes are meant to be taken concurrently and the information covered in them is interrelated, creating a network of corresponding experiences and a peer community that will continue throughout the program.
Incoming freshman art majors have the option of enrolling in Art 102, 112 and 108 in the fall and Art 104, 212 and 208 in the spring. These courses have controlled enrollment and seats are guaranteed for freshman art majors only. The lecture classes are designed to expose, broaden, and challenge students' understanding of contemporary art production. Foundations of Contemporary Art and Current Directions in Contemporary Art introduce historical, thematic, critical and theoretical issues to foundation students, contextualizing and augmenting their studio assignments and expanding their verbal and visual vocabulary.

All students pursuing teacher certification must have formal training in conflict resolution. See Conflict Resolution Requirement.
All individuals seeking an initial Wisconsin State teacher's license after August 31, 2004, are required to take and pass an approved content examination in the subject area(s) of interest. These tests, the Praxis II: Subject Assessments/Specialty Area Tests, are offered through the Educational Testing Service (ETS). Teacher education students at UW-Madison must take and pass the exam for their program area(s) and submit scores to EAS before entering their final, full-time student teaching semester. For more information, see Content Examinations.
Certification also requires each student to develop and maintain a teaching portfolio. For more information, see Portfolio.
Criminal background checks will be run on all students at admission. Results of these checks will be reviewed by School of Education faculty and staff. Positive results will result in additional information requests and may be shared with staff at field placement sites. Criminal background checks may also be run on students by school districts. Field site staff have the authority to determine the appropriateness of a student placement. Applicants must also complete a disclosure statement indicating (1) whether they have been admitted to, then withdrawn from, asked to withdraw from, or been dropped from a student teaching, clinical experience, or other intern/practicum program, and (2) if they have ever been placed on probation or disciplined by any college or university for academic dishonesty. See Associate Dean Jeffrey Hamm at EAS if you have questions about these processes.
These courses must be taken in a three-semester sequence. It is recommended that students complete Ed Psych 301, Human Abilities and Learning, prior to beginning the sequence or during the first semester. Most courses are only offered once a year. An assessed performance requirement is an integral part of certification/degree requirements.
