Pursue a minor in any of SFAI's major programs
Undergraduate students have the opportunity to organize elective coursework in exciting new ways and demonstrate the interdisciplinary character of their studies “on paper,” since a successfully completed minor will be recorded on transcripts.
You may minor in any program other than your major. Students may also explore specific areas of interest within a minor, such as ceramics, artists’ books, issues of sustainability, or experimental cartography, or define their own pathway.
