Art Minor

The Art minor is a flexible option for non-majors who are interested in art or hands-on creative study. The minor is a great supplement to any degree, providing students with an introduction to art making and further experience in one or more studio areas. Consult with an art faculty advisor for help with course substitutions or questions about art coursework completed at other institutions.

Note: This minor can be used to meet endorsement requirements for Elementary Art; students meet with an art faculty advisor to develop a plan for appropriate courses.
