Minor in Learning

The College’s first credit-bearing academic credential, the Minor in Learning, is launching in Fall 2026 and offers students a foundation in how people learn and how effective learning environments are designed. Created in partnership with the School of Psychology, the minor blends learning science with applied design and equips learners with the skills to create impact in numerous fields. 

The Minor in Learning helps students understand how people think, grow, and learn over the lifespan, as well as how to leverage those insights into meaningful educational experiences in classrooms, workplaces, and communities. 

Courses supporting the minor are part of the College’s new undergraduate offerings and are open to all students.
