Art and Design Option
This option is offered within the following major(s):
The Art and Design (A&D) option prepares students to engage with renewable materials on an aesthetic level, whether as interior designers, fine artists, or entrepreneurs. Students will gain not only an in-depth knowledge of renewable materials but also how these materials can function visually within the human space. In addition to the aesthetic aspect, students will gain an understanding of green building materials and green architecture.
