We hear every day about the importance of creativity and innovation (C+I) in our lives, careers, and societies. The C+I minor helps students gain a deeper understanding of their creative and innovative selves and to gain greater confidence in these areas. The minor also equips students with tools that enable them to develop further the work and projects they undertake in their majors. Beyond this, C+I are highly relevant to all students in their future careers.
