Prism Paterson – Texts and Contexts Minor
Degree Type
Minor
This minor provides an immersive study of the arts, music, literature, and history of Paterson, New Jersey. Students will not only investigate the arts and literature of this city as an academic discipline but also gain a hands-on experience of the arts and humanities through field trips, interviews, writing, and studio work. Students will visit Paterson, read about it and write about it, learning about the famous people who have walked on the same streets they have and have been inspired by their same emotions and aspirations.
This minor will prepare students for a variety of careers in the liberal arts, urban studies and urban education, non-profits, and for graduate study.
Adding a minor gives students a unique area of specialization in addition to their major. Students will develop reading, writing, critical thinking, and analytic and research skills through their study of the arts and humanities.
