College of Design
The College of Design teaches design thinking in an interdisciplinary environment that makes sense of the world for the benefit of the public. The College integrates practical, ethical, and aesthetic thought and action to enhance the meaning and quality of life through the creation of knowledge informing the critical study of artifacts and places.
The College of Design gathers creative minds from around the world whose interests and expertise span a variety of disciplines. An inspiring and elite group of faculty prepare our designers to go out and shape the world.
The world needs good design. It plays a major role in the development of branding, product development, business practices and procedures, and more. The size and shape of mobile devices, the animation we see on the big screen, the materials used in the buildings we enter—design touches everything around us.
