These minors are unique programs created in collaboration with the nearby Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD). Students have the opportunity to enhance creative skills, increase knowledge of the arts and fulfill artistic desires by choosing one of the four minors: Fine Arts-Motion Narrative, Fine Arts-Graphic Design, Fine Arts-Photography and Fine Arts-Studio Art. Each minor offers a unique blend of creative conceptualizing, execution, theory and technology. Students should declare their intention to minor in these Fine Arts Minors at the start of the sophomore year by completing a Declaration of Minor form in the college office. Each minor requires 18 credits.

Marquette students do not need to declare a minor in order to take courses at MIAD, although they must be enrolled at Marquette with full-time status in order to register for FIAR courses. Full-time students are eligible to register for a maximum of six credits of FIAR courses in each semester, and they must be able to meet any prerequisites before registering for a course. Students should consult the Schedule of Classes at the time of registration. The tuition cost of enrolling in MIAD courses is included in the Marquette full-time student tuition rate; however, other course material fees may apply, and students will need to pay them directly to MIAD before the start of classes. All courses are offered at MIAD unless otherwise noted with an asterisk. MIAD is located at 273 East Erie Street.

Further information can be obtained by contacting Dr. Jean Grow in the Diederich College of Communication.
