A minor in art and architecture history establishes a foundation for further study in these areas and provides a better understanding of architecture, art, and visual culture in historical contexts and the contemporary world. Knowledge in these areas is a valuable complement to any major. But it is also the critical thinking skills that get developed as a result of the study of the history of art and architecture that are crucial to a student's academic and career goals.
