Before entry into the History of Visual Arts minor, students will be asked to present a statement of intent, which will define their areas of interest in the field and a projected focus of their final paper/project.
A second course in one of the areas that has captured the student’s interest. In this final course a written and oral presentation, resulting from research and serious consideration of a topic approved by his or her minor advisor, is required.
Following consultation, the student’s advisor can arrange for this final course to be a guided independent study in a gallery or museum setting. In such a case, the written and oral presentations will take the form of documentation and evaluation of the student’s experience as well as the regularly scheduled work assigned by the advisor.
A grade of B or higher is required in each course to remain in the minor.
