 Return to: School of Architecture: Degree Programs
The Design Minor is a distinctive, interdisciplinary minor program that will equip students with foundational skills in spatial and visual thinking, and the material practices of designers from multiple disciplines.
The Design Minor leverages the strengths and unique disciplinary practices of the four departments in the School of Architecture (Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Urban & Environmental Planning, and Architectural History). The curriculum is grounded in the disciplinary practices of design, while incorporating expertise from numerous allied disciplines and fields of study. The main objective is to serve a wide population of undergraduate students throughout the University who are interested in complementing their current course of study with the methodologies of Design Thinking, spatial and material practices, and the strategies of creative problem-solving.
