A jacket with classic lines and a graceful shape. A website where information is easy to find. A book set in a typeface that complements the text perfectly. An art gallery where the displays flow naturally together. All these items have one thing in common--they were crafted with care by designers. Majoring in design at UC Davis allows you to combine artistic skill and training with experience in practical and commercial applications. Under the guidance of some of the nation's most highly regarded design instructors, you'll learn to give the products of your imagination a tangible shape and to put your creativity to work solving real-world problems… beautifully.
Design majors from UC Davis are working as Web designers and developers, fashion designers and merchandisers, interior designers and in other creative positions. The Department of Design's annual Careers in Creativity Day gives students a chance to learn about career opportunities from department alumni, representatives from the Internship and Career Center and local businesses where students can buy portfolio supplies.
The UC Davis Design Program, the only comprehensive academic design unit in the University of California system, delivers a research focused undergraduate (B.A.) curriculum that fully integrates design history, theory and criticism, with design thinking, making, writing, visual literacy, and creative practice. Studio courses include design as practiced in exhibition, fashion, information, interior architecture and product (lighting and furniture), textiles, visual communications (digital, environmental, and print) and sustainable design.
