The Bachelor of Arts in Design Studies is a liberal arts program without studio requirements, offering an interdisciplinary approach to exploring design history, theory, material culture, and design methodologies. This field examines how objects and spaces embody their social, historical, technological, and physical contexts. It highlights design's influential role in molding human experiences and values. Ideal for students with broad, interdisciplinary design interests, this major spans all five disciplines within the College of Design. Similar to the design studies and business administration pathway, the Non-Profit Management concentration utilizes design thinking principles to foster innovative strategies for community involvement and organizational growth in the non-profit sector.
