We’ve moved the list to a single space it can now be found on Notion!: DI Course List

This is a new version of a piece we made last semester listing design-related courses for fall 2019. For this one, we put a spin on it trying to see how courses combine design with other subjects. We also added a couple of handy links to help choose courses. We hope it helps and thanks for checking it out!
