strong liberal arts tradition offers a rich and flexible curriculum
that allows undergraduate students to select from many course
offerings in business, anthropology, biology, chemistry, and
environmental studies along with the major requirements. The

is reflected in the courses required for the product design
majors. The Product Design Program, located within the School
of Architecture and Allied Arts, offers a BA/BS in Material
and Product Studies and a BFA in Product Design. The program
