Art History Graduate Minor
for the Graduate Minor in Art History
The Graduate Minor in Art History is designed to provide UIUC graduate students, both at the master's and doctoral levels from any discipline, a foundation in the histories, theories and methods of art history and visual cultures. The Minor is taken in conjunction with, and is intended to complement the student’s work in their primary disciplines.
In addition to the minor requirements, students must also complete the requirements of their major degree. Students interested in the Art History Graduate Minor should contact the Director of Graduate Studies in Art History.
