The WASH
Who takes it?
All students fit into one of 4
categories. First includes incoming freshmen, maybe with AP or Dual credit
hours, but who were enrolled in a High school the previous semester. Second
includes incoming transfer students, who’s last
enrollment was at a college or University, but with no SHSU hours. Third
includes students with SHSU hours, currently or previously enrolled, but none
in Art and fourth includes students with SHSU, currently or previously
enrolled, with SHSU art credits. All students, who haven’t previously passed
WASH, must complete the WASH block first before they will be allowed to take
any other Art courses at SHSU. Depending on the category a student may take the
WASH block the first semester they are at SHSU or they may take academics for a
year or so.
WASH is required for all SHSU Art
students as its content is fundament to the Art program. This content-driven
foundation coursework is unique in the state of Texas. When a student has
completed the 1311, 2311, or 1312 at another school, they received full course
credit, but will be required to complete the WASH block as well.
Courses: Arts 1313, 1314 and 1315.
