Minor in Fine Arts

The Fine Art Minor includes six courses. These courses introduce students to both the theory and practice of visual art. The sequence mixes studio and study classes, so that students gain an understanding and appreciation of history and appreciation of the context, background, situation and frontiers of visual communication. The courses provide exposure to the great traditions of Islamic and Arabic art, Eastern, African, and Western art, as well as cross-cultural ideas and values. Students also gain hands-on experience in the production of artifacts. Employment opportunities include graphic design, web design, industrial design, museum administration, and arts management.
