There is a minor in Art History offered at UPJ. In order for a student to qualify for a minor in Art History, they must complete 18-credit hours in Fine Arts courses, with a minimum 2.0 QPA overall for those courses.
Students must take the following two classes:
FA 0015 History of Western Art 1 (3 credits)
FA 0016 History of Western Art 2 (3 credits)
These two courses give a strong, broad overview of the history of art, and naturally lead to further exploration in more detailed surveys of individual periods and movements.
Four other courses (12 credits total) in Fine Arts must be selected from any other course offerings, including (but not limited to):
FA 0150 Ancient Art
FA 0050 Medieval Art
FA 0304 Renaissance Art
FA 0351 Baroque Art
FA 0521 Nineteenth Century American Painting
FA 0031 Modern Art
FA 0491 Contemporary Art
FA 0621 Art of China
FA 0440 Frank Lloyd Wright
FA 0040 Introduction to Architecture
FA 0450 Twentieth Century Architecture
FA 0080 World Religious Architecture
FA 1170 Fine Arts Internship
FA 1902 Independent Study
Please note: Studio Art credits do not count towards the Art History minor. See Dr. Grash for any additional information regarding the Art History minor and its benefit to your field of study.
