Declare a Minor
To declare a minor in art, students must complete a "Change of Major / Minor" form and indicate the intended minor in the middle of the form. Completed forms must be signed by School of Art & Design Chairman, William Davis, and then processed through the Registrar's Office. Download a "Change of Major / Minor" form from OneSource. Once a minor has been declared students must meet with their assigned School of Art & Design advisor before registering for courses.
