Annual Report - 2006 College of Performing and Visual Arts
e) Low enrollments are continuing to be a problem except in Art and Design. The photography class has given a big boost to the department. Music will offer a new Music 1010 class in popular music. The new film class enrollments are holding steady and has produced more SCH in the Theatre and Dance Dept. Theatre 1013 still has low enrollments and the 1040 interdisciplinary course is not attracting high enrollments. We will be trying PVA as a prefix next fall in the hope we can make it easier for a student to enroll. f) Art and Design is working on accrediting this year and plans on having a team here in fall 2006 and complete the process over the next few months.
