2024-2025 Undergraduate Catalog

Minor in Intermedia, Photography, and Sculpture

Students will explore introductory, intermediate, and advanced course work in the media areas of Intermedia, Photography, and Sculpture.  Students will complete 6 credits of 200 level introductory studio courses in one or two of these areas, then complete an additional 9 credits of course work in 300 and 400 level classes in any of the three areas.  This minor program is only open to current art majors. 

Only up to 6 credits of this minor may overlap with a student's major requirements. 

The structure of this program allows a student to specialize in one studio area or take a range of courses in Intermedia, Photography, and Sculpture.  But it is important to keep in mind that certain upper level courses may require specific prerequisites beyond introductory studio courses. Students should work with their advisor to develop a plan of study for the minor.
