Interdisciplinary Design Minor

The interdisciplinary design minor is a program that shows how design can be used as a catalyst for exploration and research. Choosing from a selection of both lecture and studio courses, students are introduced to the history, theory, and practice of design across multiple design disciplines. With the interdisciplinary design minor, students may compose their own individual program in which they will understand the interdisciplinary nature of the design process, appreciate the role design plays in everyday life, experience design thinking and action, explore and expand their own design interests, and understand how to work with designers in their chosen field. The interdisciplinary design minor provides an integrated education in design where students enhance their learning by making connections between traditional design courses and nontraditional views of design.
