IMA has designed a minor for all NYU students who are interested in pursuing studies focused on the proposition that computation—the ability to code, learn new software, manipulate data and create physical and digital interactions—is an essential creative capability. Starting in 2025, this minor is now being expanded to the entire university.
Minor Declaration
To request a minor be added or removed from your record please use your Albert Student Center. Click on the Academics tab, and then click Minor Application under Planning Tools. New First Year and Transfer students should wait to declare minors toward the end of their first academic year and after discussing it with their academic advisor.
Program Requirements
The minor requires the completion of at least 16 credits, comprised of the following:
Introduction to Interactive Media (at NYU Abu Dhabi)
Electives
Select 8 credits of any IMNY-UT and/or ITPG-GT courses. We can count any INTM-SHU (except Capstone Studio 1 and 2) and any IM-UH course (with the exception of Capstone seminar and project). Below are examples of courses that may count toward the minor.
Note: Not all courses are offered during all academic sessions. Check Albert for course schedule and work with your academic advisor to plan accordingly. Courses listed are allocated to the Minor. Courses offered at the School of Professional Studies are not eligible to count toward Tisch Minors.

Grades
All students declaring a Minor must receive a grade of C or above in order to have the course count towards a Tisch Minor.
Course Allocations
Students cannot substitute required classes for the Minors. Classes from other departments cannot be used as a substitution for IMA courses.
As of spring 2015, regarding double-counting of courses for Tisch students: students who have any combination of Tisch majors/minors will only be permitted to count one course towards both areas. Tisch minor courses can be double-counted between two Tisch minors. For all other NYU students, students' should follow their home school academic policies.
