AI-Assisted Design Minor

The AI-Assisted Design minor equips students with the tools to integrate artificial intelligence into their creative processes. By balancing conceptual strategy with hands-on practice, the curriculum prepares students to leverage AI for generative design, motion design, and interactive media. While exploring these emerging workflows, students bolster their foundation in human-centered design and commit to the ethical use of technology in their professional practice.

The following requirements below are intended for students beginning fall 2026. To declare your minor, please speak to your academic advisor for assistance.
