The program in fine arts is an interdepartmental major in the fine and performing arts: music, dance, theatre, speech, visual arts, and photography. The degree in fine arts is intended to provide the student with an arts education emphasizing the diversity and yet commonality within the traditional and nontraditional arts. To the extent that we recognize a distinct “artistic” capacity or form of perception-different from analysis and apart from language-we assume that the artist may realize similar ends in a variety of media and that all the arts are in this sense profoundly interconnected. The fine arts major provides students with the opportunity to seek this interconnection. The diversity and flexibility of the major make it appropriate for a range of career alternatives, especially within fields demanding a high degree of expressive and creative ability. The major is also a fine choice for the general arts student who does not want to specialize within a single medium at the lower division level. Students must complete a minimum of 60 units of credit, including the courses in the major (“Major Requirements”) and general education requirements, with an overall GPA of 2.0 or better, and a grade of “A,” “B,” “C,” or “P” in all courses to be counted toward the major. A minimum of 12 units must be completed at Irvine Valley College.
