Advising Notes
Important Notes for Studio Art: Sculpture and Ceramics majors from Advising:
- Incoming students are strongly encouraged to enroll in any section of FNAR 120, 121, or 124 with seats available in their first semester; students should contact Matt Groves if the sections are full: mgroves1@luc.edu
- This is a relatively small major so if you are unable to enroll in all the suggested FNAR courses this fall, you should still be on track with your major requirements beginning in the spring.
- Don’t forget to check the AP/IB guide to ensure you know if you have any incoming credit that will count towards your Core requirements.
- If you prefer to take a foreign language in your first semester, you may do so and make room by swapping out one Core class. Be sure to take your placement exam unless you have no classroom experience with the language. The placement exam will tell you which course to enroll in for fall.
