Design Minor
The Minor in Design provides an opportunity for Tulane undergraduate students to study design principles beyond the introductory level. Students pursuing majors with other schools utilize the dynamic and catalytic methods of design process and critical thinking as strategies within other areas of study. The requirements of the minor are designed to allow students flexibility to pursue individual interests while gaining an overview of the discipline.
