The Creativity in Theory and Practice minor is built around three carefully crafted core courses that introduce design thinking and expression, the ethics of creative practice, and the science of creativity. Students will have the opportunity to put those theories and concepts into practice with a broad selection of “making” electives across a variety of disciplines.
This minor is intended to enhance all disciplines across the university, from art, design, and communication, to business, engineering and computer science and more.
