Description

The History of Visual Arts minor is comprised of 15 credits: five courses in visual Art History beyond the two-semester Art History Survey (LAAH 111 and LAAH 112), taken within the Division of Liberal Arts. These five courses may not include Discipline History courses required by the student’s major program.

All minor programs are governed by the Undergraduate Minors/Concentrations policy published on the enrollment & registration  page in the policies  area of the catalogue.

Students seeking entry into the History of Visual Arts minor should submit a statement of intent defining their areas of interest and anticipated focus of their capstone work.

Capstone Course & Research Project

On approval, students may arrange for this final course to be a guided independent study in a gallery or museum. In such cases, students will work with the Art History minor faculty coordinator on a research paper and oral presentation describing and evaluating the experience.
