The University of Michigan offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art & Design through the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design. Product design is pursued within this broad, transdisciplinary degree rather than through a formal industrial design concentration, with foundational studios in drawing, two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and four-dimensional design followed by upper-level elective work.
The 128-credit curriculum emphasizes creativity, critical thinking, project development, and technical craftsmanship. Students can develop product-oriented work through studio practice, prototyping facilities, and interdisciplinary connections with fields such as engineering and business.
