ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ACADEMIC ADVISING

Because the art/digital media curriculum is highly structured, advising is not only necessary but also beneficial. Each semester, students must meet with their assigned advisor before registering for classes; the registration periods for each upcoming semester will be posted. Students should also meet regularly with their advisors as needed during the semester.

Academic Advising Services (Student Center, Room 13) is also available for advising needs, but all art/digital media majors should see their assigned departmental advisor each semester before registering for classes. Most of the art faculty will help you with advising or guide you to someone who can. Your advisor will help you with a variety of issues, such as:

- course schedules - progress through the degree program - choice of elective classes - degree plans - financial aid or scholarships - career opportunities - choice of graduate schools

STUDENT RETENTION

Tarleton’s art/digital media faculty is serious about student retention, and we want to help you achieve your goals. In return, we ask you to assume responsibility for your own progress and ultimate success. What works:

- Attending classes and labs regularly and on time. - Completing all homework assignments carefully and on time. - Having a positive attitude and a willingness to learn. - Not panicking if you have a problem learning a new skill. You are not

alone; in fact, everyone experiences difficulty at one time or another. See your advisor and/or instructor for assistance.

By taking the above steps, you will progress through Tarleton and will be prepared to meet any challenge you encounter.

DEGREES BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS: STUDIO ART

Students who are interested in continuing their own art practice or are interested in going to graduate school are recommended to follow this degree plan.

BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS: (STUDIO ART) WITH TEACHING CERTIFICATION

The Bachelor of Fine Arts Teaching Certification degree is designed to prepare students for successful careers in public art education. Students must take education courses along with passing the state exit exam by their senior year.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN DIGITIAL MEDIA STUDIES Concentrations offered: Media Production, Game Design

The mission of Digital Media Studies is to provide a learning environment that promotes critical thinking, creativity, and technological expertise in the study of new and emerging digital communication technologies. Digital Media Studies features a prominent interdisciplinary focus across the University to offer a broad set of skills that prepare students for a technology driven 21st century job market. This degree addresses a growing regional and national need for graduates who understand how to design and utilize digital media technologies to suit the needs of contemporary audiences and employers. Students will acquire skills in web development, multimedia/interactive design, game design, digital graphics, e-marketing, application design and electronic business and marketing.

CAPSTONE COURSE

Every student is required to register for the Art/Digital Media Capstone Course (ARTS 4390). Art Education majors should register for this course the semester before student teaching. All other majors pursuing a BFA degree or a BS in Digital Media Studies should register for this course in their last semester of coursework.

The Capstone Course is designed to be a culminating educational experience for the undergraduate student with the student’s specific career plans in mind. Each student will work closely with the assigned capstone instructor on their capstone project but any faculty member can oversee the project. That choice should relate to the content of the project and the qualifications/expertise of the chosen faculty member.

All Tarleton Art/Digital Media majors are required to fulfill the requirements of the 3 main components of their capstone course:

1. Exhibition Component – Students must organize and curate a public display of their work. This exhibition must demonstrate a cohesive statement of the research interests of the student. The student will also be required to provide an oral defense of the work in the presence of the public and university faculty.

2. Portfolio Component – Students must create a portfolio of finished,

upper level art/design work that demonstrates strong skills in the field of research of their choice. Options to present the portfolios in hard copy and digital formats will be explored.

3. Written Component – students must display competent

writing/research skills. Students must be able to write professionally in order to apply for opportunities in their chosen fields of research. A requirement of this course will be for the student to produce a professional curriculum vitae or resume and an artist statement that can be updated and revised as his/her career advances.

Every spring we hold a competitive student exhibition juried by a D/FW professional artist.
