PORTFOLIO REVIEW - All work completed in LD DESN courses is subject to review & must be kept for such purposes.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design (code DESNBS01) (132 units)

This degree program is concerned with the relationship between technology and the visual arts. It includes background courses in engineering and sciences. Portfolio review is required for admission to the professional B.S. program. Portfolios are reviewed in the spring semester for fall admission to junior standing and the upper division program.

Admission Under Impaction

To be eligible for admission to the Bachelor of the Science in Industrial Design program, applicants must have met requirements for admission to the university as a freshman or transfer student. Applicants must provide a portfolio of their creative work to the Department of Design (contact the department for instructions). Eligible applicants will be admitted for available spaces based on portfolio review by the faculty. It is recommended that students interested in the B.S. programs take between six to nine upper division units in the area of specialization, and then submit a portfolio. By doing so, students will become acquainted with the Department and the specific requirements for portfolio review. Students must achieve "C" or better in each course required by the major. Students have only two chances to apply for the B.S. program.
