Course Offerings

                        

Students will enroll in either the mathematics or natural science course, and the art course. Due to the program’s short duration and scheduling constraints, students cannot take both math and natural science. Students who are not Natural Science majors and would like to take Professor Almstedt’s course to satisfy a core requirement should enroll in NTLS 298.

ART 350

Visual Thinking

AIB faculty
 

Course promotes concept development and creative thinking. Visual problem solving & projects will be based on a concern for how each person examines & explores, ultimately interprets & recreates to the world around them. Art 350 satisfies the creative arts core requirement for all LMU students.
