The Graphic and Information Design and Mathematics BS at Northeastern University is designed for intellectually curious students who seek to bridge the analytical rigor of mathematics with the creative power of visual communication. In a world increasingly driven by data, you will explore how mathematical reasoning, including calculus and probability, can inform the design of compelling visual narratives and intuitive interfaces. This undergraduate degree equips you to tackle complex problems by integrating quantitative methods with a deep understanding of design principles, preparing you for a unique career path.
You will study this full-time, on-campus program over four years, engaging with core coursework in both art and design fundamentals and advanced mathematics. Your curriculum will include essential subjects like visual composition, information design principles, and typographic systems, alongside calculus, linear algebra, and statistics. Throughout your degree, you will develop a robust portfolio through hands-on projects and a significant design degree project, graduating with the versatile skills needed for roles in data visualization, UX/UI design, and quantitative analysis.
