The Design Minor provides a foundation in visual literacy and creative problem solving within the context of the design studio. Students analyze design systems, processes and products in historical and cultural contexts; they also produce creative works within prescribed constraints. This minor equips students with a breadth of knowledge and tools to analyze and solve creative problems.
