The Columbus College of Art & Design offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Product Design (previously titled Industrial Design), a rigorous, studio-based program that transforms creative thinkers into professional problem-solvers. The curriculum balances traditional craftsmanship with modern digital tools and business strategies, emphasizing user-centered design, interdisciplinary collaboration, and real-world client projects. Students progress through eight semesters of hands-on learning — from foundational drawing, 2D/3D visual communication, and material fabrication to advanced CAD training in industry-standard tools like SolidWorks and Rhino 3D. Core industrial design studios challenge students to tackle complex product systems and user experience challenges, while a unique business concentration across all CCAD BFAs provides entrepreneurial and professional know-how. Graduates leave with the portfolio, technical skills, and strategic thinking needed for careers in consumer goods, medical devices, transportation design, and technology. Located in the Discovery District of downtown Columbus near the Columbus Museum of Art, the campus fosters an immersive creative community.
