(8) All students entering the Department of Industrial Design must participate in its required laptop program, purchasing hardware, software, upgrades and insurance, specified in the Department's "laptop program requirements and policy guidelines" The department strongly encourages students to participate in an internship during Wintersession of their junior or senior year, or during the Summer following their sophomore or junior year.
Six credit courses taken during Wintersession or Summer cannot fulfill a Professional Design Studio requirement unless approved in advance by the department head. Students may take only one six credit studio per semester. The first four years of the curriculum above adds up to the 126 credits required for the BFA. The Liberal Arts component is 42 credits and the nonmajor elective component is 12 credits. The Liberal Arts courses shown for the Wintersession may be taken during the Fall or Spring semesters, and the nonmajor electives shown for Fall or Spring may be taken during the Wintersession, as scheduling and interest permit. Consult the Liberal Arts Office or the Registrar for additional information. The curriculum for Industrial Design majors indicates the minimum courses that are required within the major department or program. Sufficient design and professional elective courses must be completed to fulfill a total of 126 credits necessary for a BFA degree. Elective courses are to be selected in consultation with department head and faculty advisor. The Fifth Year leads to the professional degree (BID). All students wishing to participate in this year must submit a fifth-year proposal by December of their senior year. The proposal must be approved before a student is accepted into the fifth-year program. Guidelines for proposals are available in the ID department office. The minimum requirement for a Bachelor of Industrial Design degree is 156 credits. Students are required to complete 30 credits in design electives or studios.
