Minor Code - U036
The study of the history of art can enhance comprehension of students’ primary field of study and permit them to achieve a broader and deeper understanding of cultural history. First-hand observation and close study are emphasized. It is intended to help develop skills in critical thinking, written communication, and research. Since the minor in Art History requires a considerable grasp of writing and research, the vocabulary and technical aspects of art historical writing and research are addressed in both the survey and in the upper-level courses. This minor is especially beneficial for those students pursuing careers that demand an understanding of historical and contemporary culture.
Students must maintain an overall GPA of 2.5 with a grade of C or better in all required courses.
