Art History Minor

Coordinator: Kimberly Morse-Jones

Students majoring in one of the humanities—history, literature, foreign languages - will find that the art history minor complements and enhances their area of study. The minor is also worthwhile for students considering careers in arts administration, conservation, interior design and similar fields. The required courses offer both chronological breadth and the opportunity to study a period in depth.
