ART-490 Visual Studies Portfolio and Program Assessment
After completing 15 credits of
visual studies courses, minors must enroll in the
one-credit Visual Studies Portfolio course. Their
portfolio will contain relevant materials such as
exams, papers, and digital images of assignments,
plus instructor comments. Students must include a
1000- to 1500-word essay describing the most
important insights and skills developed during
their course of study. The essay must also assess
the strengths and weaknesses of the
visual studies minor. The portfolio will be
graded Pass/Fail. Students should therefore take
care from the time they begin the program to
retain copies and images of work from courses
comprising the visual studies minor. This
requirement applies to both HFA and SSH PEAK minors.
