It is important for all art history, studio art and graphic design majors and minors to receive academic advice. Professor Claude Baillargeon (318 Wilson Hall, (248) 370-3388, baillarg@oakland.edu) is our chief academic adviser. He will help you to understand the intricacies of fulfilling university, college and departmental requirements. Students should review their progress with Professor Baillargeon at least once a year. Email inquires are acceptable.
Art history, studio art and graphic design majors and minors should make an appointment with the AAH adviser at the same time as their CAS graduation audit to review their departmental records. For problems outside the majors or minors, we recommend you see an adviser in the College of Arts and Sciences Advising Office.

College of Arts and Sciences Advising
Students majoring in the B.A. program in either art history or studio art are enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences. They should consult the Arts and Sciences Advising Office for information about:
- University general education requirements
- College of Arts and Sciences distribution requirements
- Minimum total credit requirement
- 300-level requirement
Graduation Audit
Students should have a graduation audit prior to the final two semesters before the student’s intended completion date. Appointments can be scheduled with an adviser in the College of Arts and Sciences. Walk-in appointments also are available at the dates and times published on the College of Arts and Sciences website. Email inquiries are accepted, with an approximate three-week turnaround.
Especially if students have transfer credits, they should keep careful track of their general education and college distribution requirements to avoid unexpected problems surfacing as they are ready to graduate.
