Human-Centered Design Minor

The human-centered design minor is a collaboration between the Department of Art, Architecture & Design and the Department of Engineering & Physics . The purpose of this minor is to provide a coherent program to strengthen students who are 1) entering the profession of human-centered design or user experience research or 2) seeking to incorporate human-centered design mindsets in their chosen profession. Students may use select capstone courses in their engineering or interior design major for credit in this minor if they are developing a human-centered design project in such courses.

This minor allows courses to be shared with a major from the same department.
