The B.I.D. degree prepares graduates for entry into the field of consumer product design and development. This program utilizes the resources and facilities of the Robert Busch School of Design, the Department of Fine Arts as well as additional technical and laboratory facilities of the University. With a broad foundation in Liberal Arts it emphasizes both studio and computer design skills. Conceptualization and modeling techniques are developed in conjunction with production and manufacturing technologies. Emphasis is on creative problem solving, design aesthetics and technical competency in the development of innovative, useful consumer products.

Students are required to maintain a 3.0 grade point average in major requirements to continue in the program and to receive the BID degree.

The Design Internship course, DSN-3001, is only taken with Industrial Design faculty approval, otherwise the student will complete a Senior Thesis Project, also with faculty approval.

The program is fully accredited by the National Association of School of Art and Design (NASAD).
