Justification for adding the minor
The art department proposes a new minor entitled Visual Communication Design. It is similar in format to the current Studio Art minor. Students will be required to take visual art foundations, 200 level prerequisites, and 15 credits of upper-division topic sequence in at least one subject area. Describe the reasons for making this change: This minor is being proposed at the same time as a new Visual Communications Design major. This will provide students in other majors on campus the opportunity to gain experience in designing for communication purposes (web, print or motion). The form of the minor in Visual Communication Design is similar to the current Studio Art Minor.
