Students who have an undergraduate degree in industrial design from an ID program similar to Georgia Tech’s can complete a two-year program consisting of 48 graduate credits.

Students who do not have an undergraduate degree in industrial design will need to successfully complete an additional 36 undergraduate industrial design credits, which at a minimum includes one year of undergraduate industrial design studios, Advanced Sketching, History of Industrial Design, Industrial Design Computing I and II, and Professional ID Practices. These classes are the minimum requirements students with a previous degree other than industrial design need before proceeding into the graduate-level studios and coursework. Students with a non-industrial design background will be admitted conditionally.

All graduate students will be reviewed each year for satisfactory progress.
