History of Architecture and the Built Environment Minor
Program Requirements and Description
The Minor in the History of Architecture and the Built Environment is composed of a series of established courses taught in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture (APLA); the Department of History; and the Department of Art & Art History. The Minor is mainly housed in APLA, with the Department of History and the Department of Art & Art History as primary partners. As a unique program to both the state and larger region, the Minor will offer students the opportunity to study the history of the built environment within a National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) accredited School of Architecture.
The Minor requires a minimum of 15 credit hours above the core requirement. There are two paths for the Minor and both paths require at least 12 hours at the 3000-level or above. Students will be instructed to make an appointment with the department advisor to discuss or complete the Minor.
