Minor in Visual Arts at College at Old Westbury New York
The Visual Arts minor consists of a core of four required courses (16 credits) and three elective options: art history; fine art; or applied art. The minor is intended to serve two different groups of students. Students pursuing a liberal arts major would take the minor to explore non-linear modes of creative thinking and to become familiar with the ways in which art intersects with history, philosophy, psychology, literature and politics. Students majoring in professional programs such as teacher education, marketing, journalism and computer science can use the visual arts minor to develop some supplementary practical skills that will prove useful in their chosen career.
