The minor in History of Art and Visual Culture (HAVC) enables motivated students to pursue their studio practice while engaging more deeply with a curriculum designed to enrich their critical, interpretive, and historical training.

For students first matriculating at CCA Fall 2016 and later:

[3 units] Introduction to the Arts (HAAVC-1040)
[3 units] Introduction to the Modern Arts (HAAVC-1080)
[3 units] Media History course(s) as required by major
[3 units] Eye Openers (HAAVC-2200)
[3 units] Any 2000- or 3000-level History of Art and Visual course
[6 units] Any two 3000-level History of Art and Visual Culture course

21 TOTAL UNITS

A maximum of 12 units of transfer credit will count toward the minor; however, Eye Openers (HAAVC-2200) cannot be fulfilled by transfer credits.

All coursework for the minor must be completed with a grade of C or higher to satisfy minor requirements.

To meet the HAVC minor requirements, students (excluding those enrolled in the BArch program) will use:

• Existing 12 units of History of Art and Visual Culture requirements (incl. MH)
• Existing 6 units of Humanities and Sciences 3000-level requirements
• Existing 3 units of Humanities and Sciences electives

Students enrolled in the BArch program will use:

• Existing 12 units of History of Art and Visual Culture requirements (incl. Hist. of Arch.)
• Existing 6 units of Open Electives
• Existing 3 units of Humanities and Sciences 3000-level requirements

Completing the HAVC minor does not increase the total number of units required to graduate. For most students, it will not add to their total number of courses.

However, the coursework for the minor requires you to select classes from a specific list of options. Therefore, it is important to meet with an advisor as early as possible to plan your course of study.
