Design

Fall admission only

The Design Major examines the environments of image, object and web design as persuasive forms of intervention and mediation in contemporary society. Emphasis is placed on material culture studies that have a strong impact on design history and theory, the everyday world, and the primacy of the artifact as a reflection of the cultural landscape. Students develop a background in the three streams and then specialize according to their interests and abilities. In both the theoretical and practical considerations of the program, the curriculum integrates creative experimentation in design with social, ecologically-oriented and collaborative productions.
