Sophomore Review
All Studio Art and Art Education majors are required to go through the sophomore review, including
transfer students new to the major and/or new to the College. Students in the BA studio program and Art
Education majors typically go through the review during their fourth semester if they start as a first year
student in the major. Students cannot put off the review if they are on campus. If the student is not on
campus during that semester they must go through review in their 5th semester. Transfer students to the
major must accumulate 9 studio credits prior to the review, and must have obtained at least sophomore
standing. Transfer students with previous studio credits from other colleges will go through the review
when they have earned more than 9 studio credits and have obtained at least sophomore standing.
Students are required to present a portfolio of the work that they have accomplished thus far in their
program to a panel of studio faculty. The portfolio must include at least one project from each studio
course they have taken (including works done at other colleges). B.A. and B.S. students are limited to
approximately 12 pieces, and prepare a 10-12 minute discussion with the panel. No work from high
school may be included in this review. B.F.A. applicants may show up to 15 pieces, and prepare for 15
minutes with the panel.
The faculty panel rates the student’s work, the presentation, student and classroom skill and
responsiveness to academic advising. A single score is assigned. Students must score at least 55% to
remain in the program. Students are also grouped into the top third, middle third and bottom third
categories. Students in the bottom third category are urged to create a plan with the help of their advisor
to reevaluate their goals and to plan for methods of improvement.
Guidelines for Mathematical Sciences Courses
Studio Art and Art History Majors:
There is no specific math course required for these majors. We recommend students enroll in MATH 101,
MATH 102, or CIS 171 in their first year, unless you have had a pre-calculus course; then you should
take MATH 107 or MATH 108. Statistical literacy is another important area of mathematical study, and
STAT 269 is a course that gives a good introduction to statistical methods and meets the QuEST
requirement.
Art Education Majors:
Students in these majors must take two mathematical science courses, which are usually taken during the
first or second year. Any course with a MATH, CIS, or STAT prefix meets this requirement. Most
students choose two of the following: MATH 101, MATH 102, CIS 171, MATH 107, MATH 108.
Students with Advanced Placement credit:
Requirements for courses in mathematical sciences can be met through Advanced Placement exam credit.
Students who have taken AP exams in calculus, computer science, or statistics should go to the math
department’s website (www.messiah.edu/departments/mathsci/courses/ap_credit.html) to find out
how credit is awarded for your scores.
