The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign offers undergraduate and graduate study in Industrial Design through the School of Art and Design, including a BFA, MDes, and MFA. The BFA curriculum uses studio-based, experiential learning to examine products, interfaces, and experiences while developing visual, material, and conceptual design skills.
Coursework addresses industrial design studios, design visualization, human factors, and materials and processes. Students explore applications such as toys, sports equipment, housewares, medical devices, and pet products while building capabilities in collaborative studios, computer-aided design, rapid prototyping, and digital fabrication.
