<p>I heard from someone that arts require 2 years of study in arts? so if you transfer you have to study 2+ years in art science school to graduate? Anyone know if this is true? I searched and couldn't find anything that mentioned this.</p>

<p>There's no fine arts requirement for CAS.</p>

<p>i meant be part of the school, like if i'm a CALS student for 2.5 years and i transfer to arts, i have to stay an extra semester to be 2 years of arts student? is anything like that present in the rules?</p>

Summary of Requirements
1. First-year writing seminars: two courses. (See “John S. Knight Institute for Writing in the Disciplines,” p. 590.)</p>

<pre><code>2. Foreign language: Option 1: Passing (a) a nonintroductory foreign language course of 3 or more credits at Cornell at the 2000 level or above or (b) any other nonintroductory course at the 2000 level or above conducted in a foreign language at Cornell. OR Option 2: Passing at least 11 credits of study in a single foreign language (taken in the appropriate sequence) at Cornell.

  1. Distribution: nine courses (may overlap with courses counting toward a major).

  2. Breadth: two courses (may overlap with courses for distribution, major, or electives).

  3. Major (see individual department listings for major requirements).

  4. Electives: four or five courses (at least 15 credits) not used to fulfill other requirements (other than the breadth requirements) and not in the major field.

  5. Residence: eight full-time semesters, unless a student can successfully complete all other requirements in fewer than eight semesters and meet the additional criteria to accelerate graduation. (See “Acceleration” below.)

  6. 34 courses: a 3- or 4-credit course counts as one course. A 2-credit course counts as half a course; a 1-credit course does not normally count toward the requirement; a 6-credit language course counts as one and one-half courses. (See “Courses and Credits” for some 1-credit courses in music, dance, and theatre performance that can be cumulated to count as one-half course.)

  7. Credits: a total of 120 academic credits, of which 100 must be taken in the College of Arts and Sciences at Cornell. (See “Noncredit Courses” below for courses that do not count as academic credits or courses.)

  8. Physical education: completion of the university requirement (passing a swim test and two 1-credit nonacademic courses). Note: Physical education credit does not count toward graduation or toward the 12-credit minimum required for good academic standing each semester.

  9. Application to graduate. (See “Graduation.”)
