Industrial Design

BFA in Industrial Design

Industrial designers shape the way our world looks, feels, and works by designing consumer products from cars and computer games to sippy cups and cell phones. If you like to make things, or make things better, our BFA in Industrial Design program is for you. You'll learn to balance problem solving, aesthetics, and business objectives as you design products for commercial use. And when you graduate, you'll be completely prepared to meet the challenges of today's fast-paced product development process.

Make a living AND make a difference.

Of all the arts, industrial designers may have the greatest influence upon the most people. By blending art and engineering into a singular design, they enhance our everyday world. The palm-fitting curve of your thermos mug, the ergonomics of your car's interior, or the intuitive controls on your iPod. There, in attending to and perfecting the details of everyday life, lies the beauty of industrial design.
