The Visual Arts Minor is for undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing art studies in conjunction with their non-studio major. The minor provides an overview of art as a discipline, fostering an introduction to art history and design and careers in the arts, as well as providing experience in a variety of studio areas. The curriculum may complement or enhance a related field of study or satisfy an independent area of interest. The program is based in the Department of Art and Design.
