Illustration Minor (18 credits)


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Colleges, Departments, and Programs

The minor in illustration imparts the fundamental skills of illustration–those essential to the rendering of images for publication, such as conceptual skills and collaborative skills–to students who are not seeking a professional degree in this discipline.

 

You will be introduced to specialized areas such as:

*  book illustration

*  character development

*  concept art

*  documentary illustration

 

Most small-to medium-sized organizations seek employees who can meet multiple needs.  A minor in illustration will result in a portfolio showing the ability for a graduate to bring additional design experience, skills, and knowledge to the workplace.  However, a minor in illustration will not prepare most students to enter the competitive field of illustration directly.

 

To declare an Illustration Minor, students must be a degree candidate who has earned at least 24 credits, with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 and a minimum 2.5 grade point average in their major.

 

Note: Minors in this concentration may be required to have a laptop.
