Studio Art Correlate Sequence

Correlate Sequence in Studio Art: (6 units)

A Correlate Sequence in Studio Art offers the opportunity to investigate the visual arts through courses at the 100-, 200-, and 300-level. ART 107 Studio Art Foundations: Approaches to Making  fulfills the prerequisite for all upper-level courses. 

Students interested in pursuing a Studio Art Correlate Sequence should consult with a member of the Studio Art faculty to discuss course work and choose an adviser. 

As an alternative within the Correlate Sequence, ART 102 - Drawing I: Visual Language  may serve as a prerequisite for students interested in upper-level Drawing, Painting, Printmaking and Photography courses. Please see specific course descriptions for prerequisite requirements.

  Courses completed outside of Vassar cannot be counted towards the Correlate sequence. AP credit, NRO and Independent Study credits may not be used to satisfy the requirements for the Correlate.

  Please note:

  • Sculpture I is a full-year, two-unit course that begins in the fall term. At Vassar, both semesters of full-year courses must be completed in order to receive credit.
  • In certain cases, and with department permission, an additional 300-level studio course may be counted as one of the required 200-level studio courses.
  • Studio courses charge a course fee. Students receiving Vassar financial aid are eligible for the Art/Film Stipend for one studio course per semester, which covers the cost of most materials. Please see the Vassar Financial Aid office for more information. The form is available online through the Financial Aid once classes begin.
