CURRICULUM IN INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

For the Degree Bachelor of Fine Arts in Industrial Design

The curriculum in industrial design requires 130 credit hours and provides education in three-dimensional design for production, to meet the needs of people and their environment. Emphasis is placed on the awareness of the market demand for design, cognizance of methods and materials of production and their relative costs, creation of designs that are in visual harmony with their environment and that are satisfying to the consumer, and responsiveness to the changes in technology and cultural patterns.

Foreign Language Requirement

Students entering the University of Illinois as freshmen in Fall 2000 or later need to complete the foreign language requirement in order to graduate. To satisfy this requirement, students must complete a third semester college foreign language course. This requirement may also be satisfied by three years of the same foreign language in high school. Students entering the University of Illinois without three years of the same foreign language in high school must take a foreign language placement test to determine the courses in which to enroll.
