Minor in Arts
A minor is by definition a form of study that can truly be referred to as enrichment. The minor in Arts provides students the opportunity to explore courses from the three parallel tracks in the Arts curriculum: history (interpreting works of art from all media within their context and purpose), theory (concentrating on research) and art technique and practice (acquiring and applying art techniques in fine arts, music and performing arts). ARTS 007 is a survey course of arts around the globe, with an integrated and comparative approach to studying the history and ideas of arts from antiquity to the twentieth century. This course serves as the foundation for all students pursuing the Arts minor.
