Bachelor of Science in Design

With expert guidance from our renowned faculty and access to unparalleled curriculum, you'll be empowered to push the boundaries of creativity and innovation. Our undergraduate programs provide comprehensive, professional training in the design disciplines, emphasizing collaboration rooted in the understanding that design research is central to the design process, and should always take into account the complexities that come from making the world a better place - ecologically, economically, and socially.

A Collaborative First Year Experience

All Design students begin in the 18-credit hour collaborative Design Foundations program. Not sure which design discipline is right for you? We will support you while  you explore them all!
