Tuition and Fees
Program Requirements
Printmaking is a wonderful study for students who are interested in many types of artistic expression — because it incorporates graphic design, drawing and photography into one medium.
During the minor program, students develop their art practice and learn various printmaking techniques. So they graduate with highly sought-after artistic ability and appropriate preparation for a printmaking career.
Students pursuing a B.A. in Art History may minor in a studio discipline. However, students pursuing a B.A. or B.F.A. in Studio Art or a B.A. in Art Education cannot minor in a specific studio discipline.
Students should plan on a minimum of five semesters to complete a printmaking minor due to upper-division course prerequisites.
Please note that all courses require a minimum grade of C to earn a printmaking minor.
Thanks to the multidisciplinary nature of printmaking, graduates are prepared to excel in any artistic career path.
