The Design B.F.A. (Bachelor of Fine Arts) is a pre-professional degree program encompassing typography, image creation/manipulation, interaction design, and 3-D design that is intended to prepare students for employment in the field of design. B.F.A. students take approximately two-thirds of their undergraduate courses in Design and related coursework and culminate their studies by completing one or more paid professional internships.

Additionally, B.F.A. students undertake a substantial capstone design project and present their work in an annual public exhibition. By choosing from a wide range of pre-approved supportive courses in fields across the university, B.F.A. students acquire not only the visual discernment and technical skills necessary to gain employment or admission to graduate school.
