Art History Minor
Art History emphasizes the study of visual data in historical context and covers a broad spectrum of periods, cultures, and themes. Because the requirements are very flexible, students can shape coursework to their particular interests. This minor will enhance any major in arts and sciences, management, art studio, or information technology. Students find careers in art conservation, art and public policy, art administration or sales, and in design by making creative use of the art history minor.
The minor in art history requires 18 credits and covers a broad spectrum of periods, cultures, and themes, with an emphasis on historical context. Requirements for the minor are as follows:
- Three to six credits of 100- or 200-level art history courses
- 12 to 15 credits of 300-level or 400-level art history courses
ARTH 393 and ARTH 394 are not required for the minor, but are strongly encouraged.
