Industrial Design

Program Info: Wentworth’s Industrial Design program leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Design. It is a fully accredited four-year program by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). The Industrial Design educational experience includes a cooperative work program in which students are required to spend two semesters working as an intern in the professional design field.

Much of your education will be studio based projects as well as courses in drawing, model making, manufacturing technologies (such as computer-aided design and rapid prototyping), user research, design history, and the successful completion of two co-op work semesters beginning in the junior year. Co-op experiences are designed to complement the studio curriculum. There is no portfolio requirement to apply and enter the Industrial Design Program as a freshman. There is a portfolio and GPA review at the end of the sophomore year for advancement into the junior year.
