The minor in creative computing is designed to equip students to use code as a medium for art, design, and games, focusing on the expressive, aesthetic, and reflexive dimensions of programming. It introduces students to computational forms of creative and critical thinking, bolstering Northeastern University's offering of humanics-centered courses.

Complete all courses listed below unless otherwise indicated. Also complete any corequisite labs, recitations, clinicals, or tools courses where specified. Students who wish to register for 2000-level courses and above need to plan ahead in order to complete prerequisite course(s) ahead of time.
