Applied Thinking and Innovation Minor
Turn ideas into action.
The applied thinking and innovation minor enables students in varying all academic colleges and backgrounds to unite in a cross-disciplinary setting to explore perspectives on a range of societal issues. The minor will enrich students’ aptitude in critical thinking, collaboration and innovative inquiry. This program is focused on developing interpersonal and critical thinking skills that students can apply to any major and career field to make them more competitive and better prepared to enter the workforce and contribute to their communities after graduation. Courses that comprise the minor are specifically designed to prepare students for success in their professional careers. This minor is open to all majors.
This minor can serve as a pathway to Honors College distinction for students who choose to complete an additional 6 credits of Honors coursework and earn a 3.5 cumulative grade point average upon graduation. However, students can also complete this minor without pursuing Honors College distinction.
