The B.F.A. in Studio Art has a built-in minor of art history. No other minor is required.

Post-foundation portfolio reviews will take place after a student has completed core foundation classes. Reviews will be conducted by faculty. If a student does not demonstrate foundational skills and abilities that are needed to gain access to the upper level courses, students will not receive the necessary recommendation for advancement in the program.
