SHARE WITH STUDENTS: Two updates from the School of Design – New BA in Design and DES 110 Design Inclusion (1 credit elective)
See two important updates from the School of Design:
SHARE WITH STUDENTS: New Bachelor of Arts in Design
The Bachelor of Arts in Design offers a hands-on introduction to a range of design practices.
Centered on a focused sequence of core studio courses, the BA teaches skills and methods from graphic design, industrial design, design history and theory, and design research within the context of a research university in order to foster exploration across the sciences and humanities.
This BA is ideal for students looking to study widely across the university while earning a foundational education in the material methods and practices of design as well as those looking to earn a second degree that will complement an education in the liberal arts and sciences. It is also well-suited for those who are seeking a design degree after completing several semesters of higher education.

SHARE WITH STUDENTS: New DES 110 Design Inclusion (1 credit elective)
Let your students know about the new DES 110 - Dseign Inclusion course - a 1 credit elective.
Design discourse has long been dominated by an important but limited roster of figures and techniques such as William Morris and the Arts & Crafts’ celebration of handicraft, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and the Bauhaus’s embrace of the machine, and Ettore Sottsas and the Memphis group’s fascination with laminates.
Students in this course will explore a range of groups and events beyond that canon with the aim of constructing a more diverse and heterogenous understanding of the past, present, and future of design practice.
