This is the preliminary (or launch) version of the 2024-2025 VCU Bulletin. We may add courses that expose our students to cutting-edge content and transformative learning. We may also add content to the general education program that focuses on racial literacy and a racial literacy graduation requirement, and may receive notification of additional program approvals after the launch. The final edition and full PDF version will include these updates and will be available in August prior to the beginning of the fall semester.

Successful completion of the Art Foundation Program is a prerequisite for the minor. Eligible students may apply for the minor following the successful completion (with a minimum grade of C) of one of the introductory 200-level studios listed below.
