The undergraduate minor focuses on design as a way of thinking, emphasizing an iterative cycle of field observation, problem finding, and evaluating alternative solutions and tradeoffs by prototyping and testing. The minor enables students from any division and major to diversify their studies and incorporate design thinking skills into their academic experience.
To receive a minor in design, students must complete at least 28 units of which 20 must be upper division. All courses must be taken for a letter grade, with at least a “C-” earned in each one.
