Colleges of Arts and Sciences
The oral examination is expected to be scheduled not less than one week and no more than two weeks after the written examination. All members of the committee must be present at the examination. At the oral exam the student will be asked to explain and/or defend answers to the written component. Two hours are to be allotted for this exercise.

If a student fails the comprehensive examination, he or she may be allowed to repeat it. If this examination is failed a second time, the student will be dropped from the graduate program. The committee will provide each student with a written statement detailing the reasons for a negative decision.

After successfully completing the comprehensive examination, the student is required to submit a research proposal for review by the degree committee. A meeting of the committee will be scheduled within two weeks of submission of a final draft of the proposal; the committee will determine whether or not the student is adequately prepared for the fieldwork proposed. A candidate whose field research proposal is approved and who has completed all other requirements is eligible to receive a University ABD certificate.

A student conducting dissertation research among people who do not speak the student’s native language will be required, before leaving for the field, to show evidence of oral competence in the most useful field language or of training in linguistic field techniques.

Following the student’s submission of a final draft of the dissertation, an oral defense will be scheduled. It is the student’s responsibility to see that each member of the committee has a copy of the complete final draft of the dissertation at least four weeks before the scheduled date of the oral defense. The dissertation must be read by no less than three members of the committee, and all members must be present at the oral defense. Procedures for determining final acceptance of the dissertation and awarding the PhD degree are set forth by the Graduate Division. A candidate must complete all the requirements within seven years after admission to the doctoral program. A student unable to meet this deadline may request an extension by written petition to the committee describing reasons for the delay. The committee’s recommendation will be sent to the chair of the graduate program and, if approved, to the dean of the Graduate Division for a final decision.

The Academic Program

The Department of Art (ART) offers two separate but interrelated programs. Art history, leading to the BA, affords the opportunity to study the arts of Asia, Pacific, and the West in a historical and cultural context. The art studio programs provide students either with a broad-based, liberal arts approach via the BA or with a more focused studio specialization leading to the BFA. The latter is considered more appropriate for students intending to pursue the MFA at the graduate level.

The department is housed in an excellent three-story facility with painting studios, photography and computer labs, and fully equipped printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, fiber, and glass facilities. The University of Hawai‘i Art Gallery is a prominent feature of the department’s programs. Six or seven major exhibitions are presented each year, many of which have received national recognition.

Advising

Advising is mandatory for all art majors. For advising see the associate chair in Art 142A.

Undergraduate Study

BA Degree

This broad-based art degree provides students with a choice of a studio focus, where a wide range of visual arts media can be explored, or an art history focus, where the visual arts are studied in a historical context.

Requirements

STUDIO FOCUS 

Students must complete 48 credit hours, including:
9 credits of art core: ART 201 and 6 credits of 113, 115, 116
27 credits of art studio: 18 credits must be upper division
12 credits of art history: 6 credits at the upper division level 

Students interested in pursuing a teaching career in elementary and secondary art education should seek advisement from the College of Education.

ART HISTORY FOCUS 

Students must complete 42 credit hours, including:
11 art history courses (33 credit hours), including ART 171, 172, 180, and 290
Three studio classes (9 credit hours), selected in consultation with adviser

BFA Degree

The BFA degree in art is designed for those students who desire a focused preparation in the visual arts or who intend to pursue an advanced degree or career in art. Areas of specialization include ceramics, fiber, glass, graphic design, intermedia, photography, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. Students are encouraged to cross media boundaries, and qualified students may opt to construct an individualized plan of study with faculty guidance and approval.
