Visual Arts, Minor

Sponsoring department: Visual Arts
The Visual Arts minor consists of a core of three required courses (12 credits) and three elective options: art history; fine art; or electronic media for a total of 20 credits.
The minor is intended to serve two different groups of students. Students pursuing a liberal arts major would take the minor to explore non-linear modes of creative thinking and to become familiar with the ways in which art intersects with history, philosophy, psychology, literature and politics. Students majoring in professional programs such as teacher education, marketing, journalism and computer science can use the visual arts minor to develop some supplementary practical skills that will prove useful in their chosen career.
