Introduction

Students in the Art and Design Minor take a sampling of studio courses at different levels of instruction along with one art history course. This twenty-credit minor compliments all majors by helping students practice lateral thinking, find visual and conceptual connections, and build skills with a variety of media. These are skills that may be easily and necessarily applied to other disciplines to attain success. This minor is also an excellent way for students who have loved art to continue developing their skills for personal satisfaction and expression, or to maintain a creative lifestyle.
