Visual Arts Minor Requirements
Students minoring in visual arts may focus on studio art, or digital & analog photography courses, or a combination of the two tracks.
Each student’s complete program of study must be approved by the adviser. Advising will be done by the three full-time faculty in the Center for Visual Arts, the director (studio art), the program coordinator (digital or studio), and the photography coordinator (photography).
Details include:
- At least three of the required courses for the minor must be taken through the Center for Visual Arts program at JHU.
- Students may take courses towards the minor at JHU affiliate institutions such as MICA or an approved study abroad program.
- Students must complete at least five, 3-credit visual arts courses. However, one independent study course that is at least 2 credits in the visual arts may be counted toward the minor with permission of the DUS.
- All courses must be taken for a letter grade (cannot be graded as S/U), and students must receive a grade of C- or better to apply the course towards the minor.
