The competitive field of Design requires practitioners who are intellectually curious, inventive, dedicated, critical, collaborative, and proactive life-long learners. Our students meet that need by developing as strategists, problem-identifiers, problem-solvers, and business partners.
Students in Design and Visual Communication are required to have a laptop computer for their coursework by the first week of class, beginning with ART 221 and for all subsequent courses in Design and Visual Communication. Visit uwm.edu/arts/apply/laptop/ for more information.
Complete ART 321 and ART 323 with a grade of B- or better to enroll in ART 421 and ART 423.
Complete ART 421 and ART 422 with a grade of B- or better to enroll in ART 529.
Complete ART 529 as Senior Capstone Experience concurrently with ART 606.
Complete ART 324 and either ART 325 or ART 424. These required courses are not part of the core sequence, and may be taken any time after prerequisites are met.
Complete two of the six following courses (6 credits): ART 423, ART 426, ART 524, ART 526, ART 528, or either ART 325 or ART 424 not taken in point 4.
Complete 9 credits of Design and Visual Communication Expanded Studies (ES) all outside the Peck School of the Arts. See your advisor in the Peck School of the Arts Student Services Office for an updated list of recommended courses.
Students may petition to substitute for some or all of the DVC Expanded Studies courses. Likely candidates would be students with a high GPA who have tested out of freshman English; double majors; and students with a keen and credible interest in another area of study. Petitions to substitute for courses will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by Design faculty and will be subject to an appeals process.
Students must complete ART 124, ART 221, and ART 223 to be eligible for portfolio review.
