Description:
The Design Studies minor responds to the increasing popularity of design in society. Electives are intentionally broad to allow professional portfolio development and hands-on experience in both digital and analogue prototyping.
Both studio and academic courses are available to complement existing majors across the University providing students with an introduction to the field of design and its increasingly diverse impact on industry and society.
