Art History, Minor
Taking advantage of faculty with wide-ranging research interests that span the globe, ÀÏ˾»ú¸£ÀûÍø's art history minor provides a broad-based perspective on the history of art.Â
Students enrolled in SLU’s art history minor gain skills in critical thinking and the analysis of visual culture, both past and present. Study of the history of art pairs exceptionally well with many degree programs offered at SLU, including theology, philosophy, Catholic studies, women’s and gender studies, American studies, English, history, business, and programs in the health sciences.
The minor consists of 18 credits, three of which are at the introductory level and a minimum of nine that must be advanced (at the 3000 level or higher). Art history minors at SLU may choose their electives from the broad range of courses the program offers. There are no prerequisites on upper-level art history courses, though it is advisable to consider beginning with an introductory course.
Art history minors at SLU also can apply three studio art credits toward the degree for a more hands-on experience of the creative process. Those who prefer more advanced research opportunities may opt for an upper-level (3000 or above) art history course instead of a studio art course.
A total of 18 credits are required, nine of which must be at 3000-level or 4000-level.
