The Arts and Social Change minor leverages artistic and creative practice in an array of academic and social contexts. The goal is to infuse these practices into territories outside the traditional art world through research, participatory experimentation and documentary aesthetic aspects of social practice. With a focus on creative research and project production students experience direct engagement with communities while developing skills toward fostering positive change in communities via the arts.

Students complete 12 credits unique to the minor and must complete an approved AVT course for their Mason Core Arts requirement.

Special topics courses will be notated in Patriot Web as a designated Arts and Social Change course.
