Design, Minor

The Minor in Design offers an understanding of design thinking, iterative processes, and sense making in a complex information field to supplement academic studies in another discipline. Within the minor, students have the option to take additional courses exploring interaction design, experience design, information design, or graphic design.

 A student pursuing this minor must complete a minimum of four courses exclusive to this minor beyond the courses required for the student’s declared major(s), minor(s), or PlusOne.

This minor is not open to students pursuing the BFA in Design program or any design combined major.
