Graphic Design Undergraduate Minor

Admissions & Requirements

• Students must complete DES 2101 to be eligible to apply. To be considered for enrollment in DESI 2101, interested students should complete the graphic design minor interest form.
• Preferred cumulative GPA of at least 2.8.
• Admitted students must be able to take GDES 1315 in the fall semester immediately following their admission to the minor.
• Students majoring in Graphic Design are not eligible for this minor.
• Students majoring in User Experience (UX) Design may be ineligible if their UX and Graphic Design minor coursework overlap by more than 3 credits. These requests will be reviewed on an individual basis.

Due to highly limited space, admission will be capped at 25 students per academic year. Students who wish to be considered for the minor must complete an online application. (Reminder: Students need to have completed DESI 2101 to apply to the graphic design minor.)

Accepted students are required to commit to an enrollment plan that follows guidance for timely completion. Before applying please confirm the requirements and their planned offerings work with your major program plan. Students who are unable to adhere to this timeline should plan to apply the year they are able to include the recommended course sequence.

Students who are not admitted to the minor will be placed on a waiting list and will be notified if space becomes available. The waiting list will refresh every year, so students who didn’t get accepted will have to apply again.

Guidance for timely completion:

• DESI 2101 must be completed before applying to the minor.
• GDES 1315 should be taken in the fall semester immediately following admission to the minor.
• Ensure you can complete the remaining minor requirements by your intended graduation date, taking into account course availability and prerequisites.
