Architectural Studies Minor
https://cola.unh.edu/art-art-history/program/minor/architectural-studies
The minor in architectural studies provides students with an interdisciplinary introduction to the history, theory and methods of architecture and its symbolism. The program allows students who are interested in this field to receive programmatic recognition of their work. It is designed to assist those who are contemplating enrollment at a school of architecture; are particularly interested in architectural history; want to supplement their technical majors (e.g., civil engineering) with strong academic minors; or plan to pursue careers in preservation, education, community service and public relations.
For more information, contact the minor coordinators: Ivo van der Graaff, ivo.vandergraaff@unh.edu, art and art history, or Raymond Cook, ray.cook@unh.edu, civil engineering.
The minor consists of completing five courses (18-20 credits total).
