With only 48 credits of required courses, the BA in Art, Consciousness, and Creative Practice degree program allows students freedom to choose a 2nd major from another MIU department or complete a BAAS Specialization or Minor in another field of study. To qualify for the art major and to remain in the program, students need to receive a grade of B- or higher in art classes. Students with a grade lower than B- may be put on probation by the Department of Art to motivate them to improve their performance.
