Media Arts Courses in a Thematic Minor

In order to take Media Arts courses as part of a Thematic Minor, UA students have three options:

1. Apply to the Media Arts minor (which requires a minimum cumulative UA GPA of 2.5). Students accepted to the Media Arts minor may opt to instead take courses toward a Thematic Minor. To exercise this option, accepted students must make an appointment with Dr. Barbara Selznick to discuss their Media Arts course selection for the Thematic Minor. Appointments are made by calling (520) 621-7352. Please note that not all Media Arts courses are available to students in a Thematic Minor.
2. Regardless of GPA, any UA student may enroll in any available Media Arts course(s) in the Summer Sessions. During Summer, lower-division (100/200 level) courses are available via WebReg. Upper-division (300/400 level) courses in Summer are also available via WebReg, but students must first request provisional advanced standing for the summer by contacting Ms. Pat Varney at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
