Minors

We offer a variety of minors, many open to any student at UT.  Take a look and talk to your advisor!

Students will gain experience in understanding architectural issues related to topics such as history and theory, building and construction, contemporary practices and other related issues.  If you are an Interior Architecture student, please let your advisor know you are interested in this minor.

Design Studies

The Design Studies minor was created for students outside of our college, in any program.
