The University of Illinois at Chicago offers a professional Bachelor of Design in Industrial Design through its School of Design. The four-year curriculum begins with foundation studies in two-dimensional and three-dimensional form and visualization, then advances through sequential studios that increase in complexity.
Studio work connects iterative making with needs-based research, material testing, sustainability, and professional practice. Students build capabilities in product design, prototyping, manufacturing, and entrepreneurial innovation through collaborative and client-oriented projects.
