Undergraduate

Two presenters at the 2017 Design Lab retreat stand behind poster boards filled with colorful Post-Its during a brainstorming activity.

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.

Design Minor

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.
