Minor in Creative Computation

The Minor in Creative Computing is highly interdisciplinary, championing a "whole brain" approach. Combining study, creative practice and research, students explore computing as a universal creative medium, integrating aesthetic principles and practices from the arts with analytical theories and processes from computer science and engineering. Creative Computing also impacts many other disciplines–across the humanities and sciences. The minor requires 18 hours of coursework and a 1-hour capstone project. The capstone project should be connected to the student’s major.
