Fine Art, Minor
Offered in: Chicago
The fine art minor provides students with an opportunity to investigate, interrogate and create art in a socially conscious context. A minor in Fine Art may be coupled with any major as art courses challenge students to be creative and critical thinkers, innovators and problem solvers. Students minoring in Fine Art enter fields as diverse as education, art therapy, non-profit management, marketing, media, technology and business.
As part of the minor's requirements, degree seeking students in good standing may elect to take a maximum of one course at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). Roosevelt University students must register and receive credit for SAIC courses at Roosevelt. Registration is by consent only and requires the approval of both the SAIC and Roosevelt University Art program advisors.
Requirements
Students must earn a grade of C or higher in each course. At least two courses must be taken at Roosevelt University – one of which must be a 300 level.
