ARTP-BA - Art Practice (BA)

Advanced Placement Credits

University units earned by placement tests or advanced placement work in secondary school may not be applied toward the minimum 65 total units required for the major.

Transfer Credit Evaluation

Upon declaring an Art Practice major, a student transferring from another school must have their work evaluated by the Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) in Art Practice for any prior credits to count towards the major. A maximum of 10 transfer units may be applied toward the minimum 65 total units required for the major. A student wishing to have more than ten units applied toward the major must submit a petition to the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Art Practice and have their work reviewed by a studio committee. Transfer credits cannot count toward upper-level required courses for the major (course Major Seminar or course Major Capstone).

External Credit

Students can take a maximum of two courses (10 units) away from Stanford; this includes transfer courses from other universities and Stanford Overseas Studies. Students must meet with their advisor and the Student Services Specialist before planning an overseas campus program. Based on a review of the syllabi and work from these courses, the advisor will determine which level studio courses any overseas units will count for. (Overseas course numbers do not necessarily correspond to 100 and 200-level art practice course numbers at Stanford, so do not assume this). In no case can overseas study or study abroad credits count towards upper-level required courses for the major (course Major Seminar or course Major Capstone).
