The School also offers minors in Art History, Fashion Merchandising, Furnishings and Product Marketing, Graphic Design, Museum Studies, Photography, Studio Art, and Visual Merchandising Design. Students pursuing a major in the School of Art and Design may also pursue minors that do not match their major area of concentration. However, 16 credits must be unique within the minor (and between other minors) and not overlap with the major. If too many courses overlap, then you will need to speak to your advisor in order to identify appropriate substitutes.
