    About

    The minor in Human-Centered Design is an interdisciplinary program focused on the process of innovation to address human needs.

    Dartmouth students pursuing the Human-Centered Design minor gain an intellectual foundation for the minor through coursework in introductory engineering and design thinking before advancing to study ethnographic methods of anthropology and research. Students also explore the human factors that shape design thinking—including perception, learning, social psychology, cognitive neuroscience, emotion, and cognition—before completing the minor with elective coursework in topics like sustainable design, digital parts, architecture, and social entrepreneurship.
