Minor in Design
Through a primarily lecture-based curriculum, the Minor in Design complements students' major areas of study through the development of core skills in visual literacy, design thinking, and creative problem-solving.
The Minor in Design requires at least 20 credit hours of coursework. Please see the course catalog for specific program requirements.
Admission Requirements
In order to qualify for admission to the Minor in Design, a student must hold a KU Cumulative Graduation GPA of at least a 2.0. Students are not required to submit a portfolio.
Application Link & Deadline
In order to apply for admission, students will need to submit the Minor in Design webform. Applications are due by August 1 to be considered for fall-semester admission and by January 1 for spring-semester admission.
Notes
Students may enroll in ADS 320 (KU Design Symposium) without prior admission to the Minor in Design. Admission to the minor is prerequisite to enrollment in all other ADS courses.
Admission to the Minor in Design does not guarantee enrollment in courses required for the minor. Space in required courses is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The Department of Design works carefully to build in capacity for our major and minor students to take their required courses, though we're unable to guarantee accommodation for all possible students in every semester.
Students whose primary interest is Photography should consider our Photography Minor.
