The Minor in Design Entrepreneurship aligns existing Design and Entrepreneurship coursework in order to provide holistic training to students who wish to apply design thinking and methodologies into commercial applications. Students participating in the minor would take four courses in successful venture creation through the Center for Entrepreneurship, one course in Design thinking and methodologies, then a capstone Design course in which they'll apply all that they've learned in their other minor coursework.
