a. Rationale for
creation, revision, or deletion:
The Department of Consumer Studies
is recommending revisions to the Apparel Design undergraduate major. The
revisions are designed to improve the depth and breadth of the apparel design
curriculum, to update the program’s curriculum to keep it current with advances
in the apparel design field, and to incorporate the University’s general
education initiatives into the curriculum. All revisions can be accomplished
without increasing the number of credits required for graduation.
b. Summary of program:
The Apparel Design major studies the conceptualization, design and pre-production of products for apparel-related industries that meet the functional, expressive, and aesthetic needs and desires of consumers. This major prepares students to enter the apparel industry as a design assistant in pattern making, computer-aided design, or product development. The changes we are planning are as follows:
1.
CNST 110 Seeing and Being in a Visual World, a Pathways
course offered for several years as an elective, will become a required course
for the major fulfilling General Education criteria.
2.
CNST 122 Apparel Product Assembly will replace CNST 211
Apparel Product Development in the curriculum. CNST 122 was introduced as a new
course last year to offer the CNST 211 content at a 100-level.
3.
CNST 222 Apparel Product Analysis will be added to the
curriculum, updating course offerings in the area of technical design and
specifications for the apparel industry.
4.
The history course requirement has been revised to
include any approved Arts and Science Group B elective.
5.
ART 130 Drawing I: Tools and Techniques has been removed as an alternative for a required art course
since our students primarily take ART 129 Design in Visual Arts.
