Evolving from a 1946 applied arts and crafts curriculum, the Department of Design at SNU serves over 29 undergraduates and numerous graduate students annually. The undergraduate track emphasizes foundational coursework before specialization in Industrial Design or Visual Design. The graduate school targets the development of Advanced Design Leaders, with Industrial Design explicitly divided into Product Design and Space Design. The program integrates traditional craft and design education with modern methodologies like Human-Centered Design, UX/HCI, and Service Design. Key facilities include CNC machines, rapid prototyping labs, and dedicated UX labs.
