Minor in Studio Art

The new 18‑credit Minor in Studio Art starts in Fall 2026. It introduces students to contemporary, research‑driven artistic practice through a flexible and interdisciplinary curriculum. Students complete three non-major courses that establish conceptual and methodological foundations, followed by three 3000‑level studio courses that allow focused exploration across media and practices. The minor emphasizes adaptability, critical inquiry, and engagement with the social and professional contexts of 21st‑century art. Please check back for further details.
