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.
