Art Majors & Minors

For a description of the courses, visit the Course Catalog.
Note: The information found on this website with respect to major/minor/program requirements is primarily directed at providing prospective students a general roadmap of the curriculum. Current Butler students are expected to review their degree audit report at my.butler.edu and speak with their advisor regularly for detailed information regarding their specific degree requirements and their progress toward degree completion.
The Bachelor of Arts in Art+Design degree is a perfect choice for students who are interested in adding a second major or minor to an academic discipline other than art.
