The BesT of BoTh WoRldshands-on, manual studio projects are invaluable when learning form and design but in the modern world you have to be tech-savvy too. We introduce materials, processes and techniques so students develop skill and confidence using traditional methods and become experts in the development and communication of images and ideas through emerging technology. our graduates are creative, capable and ready for their chosen industries.

ReAl WoRld lessonsIn the school of design that’s exactly what you get. You’ll build your portfolio with studio projects, lab work and opportunities to exhibit. You can even get industry experience with co-op education and put your creativity on display. Side benefit: potential employers now know you exist. And the best part is our professors use their extensive industry contacts to help you find work placement experience and ultimately job interviews when you graduate.
