The Book Arts minor is designed for students in any discipline who have an interest in visual culture, graphic arts, craft, and material studies. The curriculum offers an overview of book arts as a basis for the integration of material book studies into outside areas of study and/or creative specializations. As a complement to a primary field of study, the minor provides the background necessary to begin to produce and critically examine creative book work within a historical context and contemporary framework.
