The University of Kansas offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Design with a concentration in Industrial Design through the School of Architecture & Design. The program takes a human-centered approach to product development and manufacturing while addressing ecological impact and resource efficiency.
The curriculum brings together art, engineering, ergonomics, history, kinesiology, and psychology, and lets students investigate areas such as footwear, furniture, electronics, sports equipment, and vehicles. It progresses from foundation work to specialized studios and industry-sponsored projects, with resources including computer and virtual reality labs, digital fabrication facilities, and the East Hills Design-Build Center.
