Architecture and Industrial Design Programs

Architects and industrial designers are enjoying increased job prospects as urban areas expand, and the demand for sustainable buildings increases. Increased attention to safety and environmental concerns are creating opportunities for architects and industrial designers in new construction, renovation, and retrofitting projects. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment prospects for architects are expected to grow faster than average through 2016. Career training for architects typically includes a bachelor's degree, and graduates also typically complete a supervised work period before being licensed.

Industrial Design Careers

Industrial designers are expected to encounter strong competition for jobs. Those with career training in computer-assisted design (CAD) or engineering are most in demand. Increasing numbers of architects and industrial designers are seeking graduate degrees in order to remain competitive. Established architects and industrial designers often take additional online courses or traditional classes to keep their professional skills and knowledge up to date.
