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.
