The Experience Design (XD) Minor introduces students to a human-centered approach to problem-solving that prioritizes ethical and inclusive research and design considerations across industries and business settings.
Bentley's XD Minor offers a rare combination of ethical and inclusive research and design-thinking principles, hands-on practice, and awareness of a business's triple bottom line: planet, people, and profits. These core values, coupled with core business courses, prepare Bentley students to advocate for and manage human-centered processes that benefit businesses and their customers.
Whether you aspire to be a designer, researcher, or entrepreneur, the XD program equips you with the tools you need to meet your career goals, impact society’s most consequential challenges, and be a force for positive change in the world.
