What makes UArts Industrial Design program special?
The four-year program is project-based, process-driven, and collaborative. The program stresses a design process that is rigorously analytical, speculative, and creative. You will be encouraged to engage and explore the communities you address through your work. For example, ID students are developing a line of furniture for Habitat for Humanity's breakthrough LEED-certified model home - it's ecologically sustainable. You’ll prepare your industrial design portfolio, gather information about working as a professional industrial designer, and develop the entrepreneurial skills needed to excel in a competitive and complex business environment. An optional internship class is available.

What careers are available to UArts Industrial Design majors?

A solid design process can be used in many places, and our graduates are prepared to integrate themselves into many realms.
