What is a minor?
A minor is a concentration in an area that is not as in-depth as a major, but can be added to a major to broaden or deepen your skills and knowledge in a particular area of interest. This is an interdisciplinary minor, which means it draws from several disciplines to provide different perspectives as you study.
Courses you'll take
Required Courses:
- MC 200 Introduction to Museum and Curatorial Studies
- MC 313/AR 313 Museums and Materials
- MC 400 Capstone in Museum and Curatorial Studies
Elective courses:
Elective courses can be chosen from your area of interest, as determined with the program director. These electives must be taken in at least two disciplines, and at least 6 hours of electives must be at the upper-division level. This study plan must be approved before a student completes coursework in the minor program.
