This minor teaches students design thinking and making skills across disciplines in order to generate creative solutions to complex problems. Through project-based coursework, students will study and practice the core principles of Industrial Design and will develop capacities for creating products, environments and systems in the context of real-world challenges.

Students must complete 12 credits at the 2000-level or above. Appropriate courses will be determined in consultation with and pre-approved by the Industrial Design Minor Coordinator.

The Industrial Design Minor is offered by the School of Fine Arts. Students interested in the minor must meet with the Industrial Design Minor Coordinator to develop an initial plan of study and fill out and submit the Industrial Design Minor Declaration Form.
