Changes to the art minor in the fall of 2015 include the ability for students to progress through several levels in a single studio discipline. Studio disciplines included in the art minor are Ceramics, Drawing, Photography, Printmaking, and Sculpture.
To proceed in Ceramics, Drawing, Photography, Printmaking, or Sculpture, a student must be a declared art minor and received a grade of B or better in the non-major course of the same discipline. For example, a declared art minor with an interest in photography who receives a B or better in PHOT161, Photography for non-majors, may continue with the photography sequence and take PHOT262, Photography: wet darkroom. Note that the intro level course for art majors, PHOT261, is not taken. Art minors are not required to advance in a studio discipline, it is merely an option.
Additional changes to the art minor in 2015 include added flexibility between studio art and art history, the ability to apply Art-Special Topics to the art minor, the discontinuation of the plan B art minor, a grade rule (c or better), and a maximum number of transfer credit that may be applied toward the minor (6 cr.).
