Accounting 2001 and 3201. Additional undergraduate courses in any department or program to bring the total number of undergraduate credits to at least 110. Rationale: Since CISC 3120 is a prerequisite of 3150, it is more sensible to require 3120 and list 3150 as an option. With recent revisions to 3120 and 3150, this change means that students will still have required exposure to two programming languages.

CD 198– 11/9//10 - Page 6 Consideration is also given to applicants who do not meet course requirements but have equivalent experience or unusual talent in the chosen concentration. Such applicants should consult the head of concentration. A request for an audition or interview appointment may be made by letter or telephone to the head of the relevant concentration. General matriculation and admission requirements of the Division of Graduate Studies are in the section "Admission." Degree requirements Sixty credits are required for the degree. Students must also submit a thesis based on a thesis project and/or production acceptable to the department. Information about requirements for the thesis is in the section “Academic Regulations and Procedures.” Prior to the above, all students must undergo a pre-thesis evaluation (consisting of a work-in-progress shown to the faculty, an academic progress review by faculty, or both) by the time they complete 24 credits. If a student’s progress is not deemed satisfactory by the chairperson, the student will be denied the approval of a thesis production or project until the deficiencies noted in written form to the student have been corrected. Students must complete requirements in one concentration as follows. No student may exceed a total of 12 credits in practicum and/or externship courses. The remaining credits required for the degree must be in courses chosen in consultation with the chairperson.

Courses in the Theater Department offered towards the degree must be 700 7000-level courses. The program of study must be approved in advance by the head of concentration. Rationale: Seminar in Performing Arts Management 7619X (787) and Labor and Employee Relations 7617X (777.1) have been established core classes in the MFA concentration in Performing Arts Management for 30 and 25 years, respectively. Both core classes have been treated as requirements. Seminar in Performing Arts Management first appeared in the 1980 Graduate Bulletin; Labor and Employee Relations first appeared in the 1986 Graduate Bulletin. Hundreds of graduate students have taken the courses and have found industry-related jobs as company and general managers as a result of the competencies acquired. Since the courses have been treated as essential requirements in the concentration, it is now time for these classes to be formal requirements of the concentration.

CD 198– 11/9//10 - Page 8 SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSE Department of Art ARTD 7100: Approaching the Arts of the “Non-West”: Legacies of Colonialism and Imperialism 45 hours; 3 credits Examines the arts of selected cultures that developed outside the spheres of influence of major European civilizations. Investigates how European imperialism and colonization has affected the understanding and interpretation of cultures. Prerequisite: Matriculation for the MA in art history Frequency of offering: Every 1-2 semesters Projected enrollment: 10-15 students Clearance: None Rationale: This course expands upon the strengths of the department’s current courses focused on Western culture by examining the arts of Africa, Oceania, Asia, and the Americas (Latin American and Native American). The course allows students to engage with cultures outside of the West, and, thus, to develop visual and textual literacy from a broader global perspective. Furthermore, the subject of this class introduces students to literature, topics, and theoretical perspectives that are becoming more common in graduate programs across the country. As students prepare for advanced graduate courses and work, knowledge of non-Western subject matter and art-historical issues allows students to challenge the traditional manner of approaching art in Western cultures. It also encourages students to think about how we approach discussions and analysis of art outside the Western Canon, since Western standards are typically used to discuss non-Western works.

CD 198– 11/9//10 - Page 9 SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSE Department of Art ARTD 7151: The Art and Architecture of New Spain and the Andes, 1492-1821 45 hours; 3 credits Examination of art and architecture of the former Spanish Viceroyalties of New Spain (Mexico), from 1521-1821, and the Andes, from c. 1534-1820. Prerequisite: matriculation for the M.A. in art history Frequency of offering: Every 3-4 semesters Projected enrollment: 15 students Clearance: None Rationale: This course examines the visual culture of Spanish colonial Mexico, southwestern U.S., Peru, and Bolivia, focusing on a variety of topics: theories of conquest; colonization and hybridity; the labeling of colonial artworks; representations of indigenous peoples in a conquest setting; indigenous artistic responses to colonization, as manifested in featherworks, painting, architecture, and sculpture; the transformation and appropriation of space and geography; Counter-Reformation painting; saints’ cults; gender ideologies; indigenous and Hispanic Catholic blood sacrifice imagery; processional sculpture and spectacle; viceregal portraiture; art for nuns; the cult of the Virgin of Guadalupe and Virgin of Copacabana; conceptions of the Baroque and Ultrabaroque; religious and civil architecture; castas; and the arts and the rise of creole nationalism. It relies on primary and secondary sources to introduce students to the historical moment and issues in the field. This course works in conjunction with the Latin American courses to be added to the department, especially the pre-colonial courses and colonial arts course. It expands upon the strengths of the department’s current courses focused on Western culture by examining the arts of colonial Mexico and the Andes, which showcases the unique intersection of Western and non-Western cultures and ideas between 1492-1821. Currently, there is increasing scholarly and popular attention to Latin America, and, thus, a course focusing on colonial Mexico and the Andes allows students to engage with themes about cultural contact, conquest, hybridity, religious syncretism, resistance, and race and gender.

CD 198– 11/9//10 - Page 11 SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSE Department of Theater THEA 7334: Movement for the Actor IV 60 hours; 3 credits Basic unarmed skills –punches, slaps, scratches and simple falls and how to integrate these physical techniques and disciplines into dramatic literature. Presentation before the Society of American Fight Directors (SAFD) Fight Master for skills proficiency recognition in Unarmed Combat. SAFD proficiency test costs $35. Prerequisites: THEA 7331 (725.3X), 7332 (726.3X), 7333 (737.3X) or permission of the concentration head. Frequency of offering: Every spring Projected enrollment: 1 section of 7 to 12 students Clearance: None Rationale: To effectively create the illusion of violence on stage is not an easy task. Whether it is a knock down drag out bare-knuckle fight or a bone-jarring fall down a flight of stairs a convincingly choreographed piece of stage violence could be tantamount to the success of a theatrical production. So how does one create a dangerous looking violent scene while keeping the actors safe? The wellbeing of actors cannot be sacrificed for realistic looking violence. Nor, to a lesser degree should exciting scenes be compromised because of the lack of fight skills. Directors as well as actors need to know what is safe and what is not; what looks effective and what does not work. They need to understand issues of safety as well as techniques to perform well-executed fights. As part of the current two year MFA acting program, the Department of Theater wishes to offer its graduate acting students this opportunity to integrate physical techniques and disciplines into performance work. Students will be taught basic unarmed skills like punches, slaps, scratches and simple falls. They will take these skills and incorporate them in a safe and convincing manner into directed scenes. They will learn to perform these fight scenes in front of a sanctioned, SAFD Fight Master, in the attempt to achieve SAFD skills proficiency recognition in Unarmed Combat. Upon passing this test, students will receive actor/combatant recognition in unarmed combat by the SAFD.

CD 198– 11/9//10 - Page 12 SECTION A-IV: NEW COURSE Department of Theater THEA 7345: An Actor’s Approach to Shakespeare 60 hours; 3 credits Examines Shakespearean heightened language and illuminates practical strategies to approach the text as an actor toward developing a clear, comprehensive process that will prepare the graduate actor to perform Shakespearean texts as a professional. Focuses on intense physical and intellectual study of three Shakespearean plays, at least one of which is a comedy. Prerequisite or Corequisite: THEA 7342X (728.3X) Frequency of offering: Spring or fall semester Projected enrollment: 1 section of 8 to 12 students Clearance: None Rationale: As part of the current two year MFA acting program, the Department of Theater wishes to offer its graduate acting students an opportunity to study a specific approach to textual and acting challenges presented by Shakespearean language; and consequently how to read a Shakespeare play and develop a clear, comprehensive process that will prepare the actor to perform Shakespearean texts as a professional. This course will investigate script analysis, heightened language, and character development within the context of three Shakespearean plays. Learning objectives will be assessed through the process of physical performance as well as the written analysis, which will include the scoring, scanning, paraphrasing, beats, objectives, shifts, and tactics of each of the three performances. The final project will consist of a performance of selected sequenced scenes from the third play, including a final process paper. Date of departmental approval: October 11, 2010 Effective date: Fall, 2011 Material located with strike-through is to be deleted and material underlined is to be added.
