The minor should seek to chart a coherent path through the field of Art and Design. It should seek to engage either with the breadth of the academic field or with an 'area concentration' in a particular medium.
It is recommended that the student consults with Faculty Advisors in the Department of Art and Design for guidance on direction, content and opportunities of the minor.
