A minor in art history gives you a cross-cultural and global perspective on visual art through the study of diverse cultures and art historical periods. You will develop skills in critical thinking, oral and written communication, and visual literacy while building artistic vocabulary that allows for research and constructive analysis of art objects.
You may register for ART 4850 Internship in Visual Arts and complete an internship at a local art gallery, business, or private collection. This course counts towards three hours in the minor in art history.
This program can be completed both in-person and online, with upper-level, in-person courses offered in Dahlonega or Gainesville. Students in the B.A. with a major in studio art, B.A. with a major in art and a concentration in graphic design, and B.A. with a major in art with a concentration in digital arts, earn the art history minor by completing 9-12 hours in upper-level art history courses beyond the art history requirements of the major.
