Minors
Minors are optional but perfectly compliment your other course work. And they are designed to easily fit into your schedule.
The Craft + Design Minor allows you to gain hands on making experience across the three disciplines (Ceramics, Glass, and Metals) to complement your major. This minor allows for flexibility in course selection providing a multidisciplinary approach that can both support your major and present opportunities to explore new areas.
Support your visual storytelling with written words while exploring new styles of writing. Screenwriting, Poetry, Interactive Fiction, Graphic Narratives and so much more. You’ll gain confidence in your voice. And the best part? This minor is designed to easily work with your other requirements.
If you are an art history or theory buff, this minor is for you. It will help you develop advanced critical skills that will complement your work as an artist and designer. You’ll study art history, theory and criticism, writing and research and more!
