History of Art and Visual Culture Minor

The history of art and visual culture (HAVC) minor works well when combined with other programs offered at UC Santa Cruz. Many students choose to combine HAVC with other major/minor programs such as anthropology, art, business management economics, classical studies, education, history, legal studies, literature, politics, psychology, and sociology.

For the minor, a student may transfer up to three lower-division art history courses (from three different geographic regions) taken from other institutions. HAVC minors must take a minimum of six regularly scheduled HAVC courses from members of the HAVC faculty. Refer to the articulation agreements at www.assist.org for approved lower-division courses offered at community colleges. Transfer credit for courses from four-year institutions or community college courses not included in the ASSIST system is evaluated on a case-by-case basis; students must submit a Petition for Transfer Credit, Substitution, or Waiver and course syllabus to the HAVC Department for review.
