Minor

Art Minor

We offer a flexible art minor that allows the student to take any combination of Art, Art History, and eMAD classes. The art minor requires a minimum of 24 hours, including at least one upper-division course. To receive credit toward the minor, a student must receive a C- or above in the course. A minimum of 10 hours must be taken on campus at DU. BA students may combine majors or minors within the School of Art and Art History, but no reduction in total hours will be allowed.

Art History Minor

For the art history minor, ARTH 2819 Survey I (4 credit hrs.) and ARTH 2820 (4 credit hrs.) are required. One upper-division art history course may be replaced with a studio art or eMAD course if desired. A total of 24 hours are required.

Note- There is no minor in eMAD, but eMAD classes may become part of the Art Minor if there is space in the classes.

Minors for Students Majoring within the School of Art and Art History

  • All minors offered at the University are suitable for SAAH majors completing the BA degree. Art majors may be especially well served by a business minor and art history majors may find anthropology, English, history, international studies or languages especially relevant. eMAD majors often choose to double major or minor in business, digital media studies or mass communications, but again, any area of study will enhance the major.
  • BA Art majors may minor in art history, but no course may count twice and no reduction in hours is possible.
  • BA Art History majors may minor in art, but no course may count twice and no reduction in hours is possible.
  • BFA students may not minor in art or in art history. The degree itself allows plenty of room to take additional course work in both areas.
  • Students considering a career in art therapy should either double major or minor in psychology.
