I Rationale for proposed new degree/mlnor/certlflcate: Currently there are no degree possibilities for students wishing to study the studio arts at UM-St. louis. Designed to meet accreditation guidelines (by N.A.S.A.D., the National Association of Schools of Art and Design) and as a model' program of cooperation between UM-St. Louis and the St. Louis CommunityColleges (who now have more than 1200 declared Art majors without 4-year degree opportunities), this BFA degree will serve the professional needs of artists and art students not currently filled in the metropolitan area.

Program descrTptTOn for Bulletin: As a professional degree, the B.F.A. will equip students with the skills necessary to compete for jobs in several artistic disciplines. This degree will offer students the chance to pursue self-expression,"invention, and creative achievement. The credits required in studio art give the student a well-rounded and in-depth knowledge of the visual and fine arts. At the same time, the emphasis area will structure their abilities toward mastering a particular craft.

. Students concentrating in each area will be prepared with the knowledge and skills needed for professional employment within their discipline. Additionally, students desiring more advanced study will meet the educational requirements for even the most prestigious M.F.A. programs after completion of the proposed degree. The emphasis areas to be offered are Graphic DeSign, Photography, Printmaking, Painting, Drawing

, and General Fine Arts. 1 1 I 1 1 SEN: 7/88

SECTION 4. PROGRAM DESIGN (cont.)

Second Step at UM·St. Louis

With SLCC's A.A. degree in-studio art and the new A.F.A. degree, UM-St Louis can concentrate

on the junior/senior level, offering more advanced. intensive upper division courses. UM-St. Louis expectS that students graduating from SLCC will transfer to UM-St Louis. (For a

conservative estimate of the number of transfer srudents see Table 1, "Enrollment ofArt Majors at SLCC" on page 3 and Tables 4 and 5, "Estimated Majors and ~tes" page 8.) Currently

srudents receiving their A.A. degree from SLCC can transfer up to 66 credit hours into UM-St.

Louis. The proposed A.F.A. degree with specific srudy options in such areas as general fine arts,

photography, and graphic design, will require between 61-67 credit hours. Students transferring with an A.FA degree will have a minimum of 44 credit hours of the 75 credit hours required in

the art department All studio an credits counted toward the A.A. and A.F.A. degrees will transfer into our program.

As a specialized professional degree, B.F.A. s~dents must go through an intensified study in the

visual arts to get N .A.S.A.D. accreditation. The following table compares N.A.S.A.D. guidelines and how they translate to credit hours at UM-St. Louis. It lists the total credits required

for graduation. Of the 132 credit hour requirement, the final 24 must be completed in residence.

BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS IN STUDIO ART DEGREE PROPOSAL

SUMMARY

The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art degree proposed for the University of Missouri-Sl

Louis is a professional program designed to meet the curricular standards of the the

nationally flCCepted accrediting body, the National Association of Schools of Art and

Design (NASAD). This degree is intended to provide students with the skills and

knowledge in various media to compete professionally for jobs within the visual arts, to

learn and understand visual means of expression and to prepare them for further study in

graduate programs. This program also fills the stated mission of the University as...

All baccalaureate graduates of the University should have a sound intellectual

foundation in the liberal arts and sciences which provides the ability to reason and

think critically. to write and speak coherently ... to understand our culture and history

[and] to appreciate the fme arts and the humanities.

The completed proposal describes a joint program that begins in the Departments of Art at

St. Louis Community College and culminates in a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the

Art Department at the University of Missouri-SlLouis. By offering this comprehensive

two-step bachelor's degree program: 1.) SLCC will provide the first two years of

foundation lower division study culminating in the Associate of Fine Arts (AF.A.) degree

in Studio Art; 2.) the Art Department at UM-Sl Louis will provide the last two years of

intensive upper division courses culminating in the Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.EA.) degree.

This joint Bachelor of Fine Arts proposal fulfills the needs of students, metropolitan St.

Louis, and the occupational needs of employers. The need for this Bachelor of Fine Arts

is strongly evident in student demands for a studio art program and students' facing the

economic and geographical realities of cost and accessibility. The growth of studio art

programs at both SLCC and UM-Sl Louis is remarkable. Even without a current degree

program at UM-Sl Louis, enrollment in studio art courses has increased from 43 students

in 1975 to 275 students in 1989-90, a 640% increase. Enrollment numbers for 1991-92 at

Sl Louis Community College are even more impressive, some 1,200 students have

declared Art as their major at the three SLCC campuses, with 11, 141 student credit hours

in Art generated that year. Nearly 60% (849) of these community college students have

specifically requested transferring their credits into a bachelor's degree program. Even if

UM-Sl Louis serves only a conservative number of these community college transfer

• . .

students, it will still have a strong and successful program with the establishment of the

B.F.A degree.

Yet most of the art students at SLCC and UM -St. Louis wishing to attain a bachelor's

degree are place bound. Because of fmancial or familial reasons, they are unable to leave

the Sl Louis metropolitan area to pursue their undergraduate art degree. Their work and

familial obligations preclude their ability to continue their studies in studio art outside of Sl

Louis unless they are willing and able to pay the extremely high tuition fees at local private

colleges. Combining the strengths of both the St. Louis Community College (they have the

nation's only community college accredited by NASAD and have excellent art facilities) and

the University of Missouri-S1. Louis makes good sense to bring a cost effective quality art

degree to the metropolitan area.

The Coordinating Board for Higher Education of Missouri is required by state law to

develop arrangements for more effective and economical specialization among institutions

in types of educational programs offered and students served, and to promote more

effective coordination and mutual support among institutions in the utilization of facilities,

faculties, and other resources. In offering the S1. Louis metropolitan area a B.F.A degree,

UM-St. Louis and SLCC's coordinated efforts represent an effective and economical

approach to the productive use of staff and facilities as well as service to the community.

As a professional degree, students must be asked to complete an intensive and thorough

study of the visual arts. As a more specialized and specific degree, the B.F.A studentS

have a more rigorous and extensive training than students with a B.A. or B.S. in studio art.

This gives the B.F.A. student a distinct advantage when competing for employment and lor

graduate school admissions. Within the B.F.A degree, emphasis areas will be offered in

Graphic Design, Painting, Drawing, Photography, Printmaking and General Fine Arts.

Due to NASAD accreditation requirements (detailed below) and the present general

education requirements of the College of Arts and Sciences, graduating B.F.A students

will need 132 credit hours of study_

As students enter the degree program, they will required to complete 30 credit hours of Art

Foundation Program Requirements. Students will then select one area of emphasis in

studio art totaling 45 credit hours. The foundation program requirements and emphasis

area requirements tota175 credit hours. (See the breakdown of graduation requirements by

N.AS.AD. and UM-St. Louis credit hour requirements.) Within these requirements ,

students will be able to choose 15 credit hours of general electives (which meet the General

Education Requirements) and 7 - 12 credit hours of electives within the studio art area.

As part of our proposal to the CBHE, the St. Louis Community College is requesting an

enhancement of their current Associates of Arts Degree in Art upgrading their curriculum

to an Associate of Fine Arts degree. The degree requirements for the AF A will coincide

exactly with the requirements for the Art Foundation Program, allowing students to

complete their flISt tWo years towards the BFA at the SLCC. As such, the University of

Missouri-St Louis will be able to concentrate its facilities and faculty on upper division

study.

The Department of Art has received full cooperation and backing of the SLCC to initiate

this BFA/AFA program. It meets the mission of both institutions and fulfills CBHE's

own mandate for cooperative programing. It is timely to offer such a program which will

benefit the University as well as the metropolitan community.
