Note:

In addition to required courses, students take elective courses that enable them to pursue their specific interest, as well as overcome deficiencies in their design preparation. In certain cases, particularly for applicants from non-design undergraduate programs, it is necessary to complete specific courses in industrial design. These courses are selected from appropriate undergraduate courses and may not apply towards degree requirements.
