About the Program


The Art Minor provides students the opportunity to develop their creative skills which will complement any major. Creativity and critical thinking skills learned in art classes are applicable to a wide range of careers and the minor allows students to explore, respond to, and communicate with their environment through a visual and material language. All students begin with foundational classes and build on their learning through progressively more advanced courses. Course work includes opportunities to work in a variety of media, including ceramics, drawing, digital and emerging arts practices, jewelry & metalsmithing, painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, and a selection of communication design, and integrated media coursework.

Program Requirements


  • This minor is a total of 24 credits.
