PROPOSAL SUBMISSION FORM FOR NEW COURSES

IN THE

COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS

FOR ART4xxxC: Special Topics in Art for Non-Majors

I. Justification.

In the space below, please write a statement of no more than 150 words describing the following:

(1) the need for the course

(2) the enrollments expected, including the basis for prediction

(3) the effect, if any, that the addition of the course will have on the curriculum in a broader

sense

(4) a brief explanation of the relation of the course to the curriculum of which it will be an

immediate part

These courses are designed to offer a more in-depth studio experience for junior and senior

classification non-art majors than the 2000 level Special Topics course. Although no prior

experience in studio art is required, the requirement that students be classified as 3rd

or 4th year

will allow for more sophisticated exploration and discussion.

This course is in line with the University’s, the College of Fine Arts’ and NASAD’s goals for the

School of Art and Art History to offer more opportunities for non-majors. We expect to enroll

18-20 students per course with potential larger class sizes depending on facilities available and

the nature of the specific course content. These courses will enrich the experience of UF’s non-

art majors and will make having an outside concentration in studio art more accessible for non-

art majors.

These courses will not be available to art majors, and thus will not impact the curricula of any of

our majors.

II. Support

In the space below please provide:

(1) an account of the availability of faculty, library resources, and any equipment required to

teach the course effectively

(2) the availability of funds for setting up and continuing the course.

These courses have been offered already, under our special topics course number. If we don’t

have the resources for the courses, we won’t offer them.

III. Graduate Student Requirements All proposals for undergraduate courses to which a graduate course number is also assigned must

list the additional requirements expected of graduate students over and above all requirements

expected of undergraduate students enrolled in the course.

N/A

IV. Planned Frequency Here, write the schedule for offering the course (i.e., every semester, once yearly, biennially) and

the semester in which the course is to be offered first.

We hope to offer at least one of these every semester.

V. Explanation of any duplications or overlapping of course content with any other course

currently offered in the University catalog Proposals that might infringe on offerings in other schools within the college and university

should be accompanied by letters from directors of the affected schools, stating their reactions to

the proposed changes, additions, etc.

Proposals which might conflict with other CFA school offerings should be accompanied by a

statement from the faculty of the area affected indicating their support of the proposal. (This

would be included as “other useful documentation” in the submission. See the curricular

submission-change checklist.)

N/A as these are special topics (rotating topics) within the visual studio arts.
