University of Illinois Chicago
The School of Design at the University of Illinois Chicago is an established leader in design education. Grounded in studio culture and deeply involved with the human experience, UIC Design programs are organized to reflect and to advance developments in the field. Led by a faculty of renowned professional designers who are thoroughly committed to teaching, UIC Design students are introduced to contexts of culture and meaning as they develop the formal, conceptual, and technical skills necessary to confidently enter a professional setting.
Students at the UIC School of Design learn formal design principles, and they acquire the skills necessary to engage these principles in practice. At the undergraduate level, students are immersed in the aesthetics, mechanics, and systems of typography, while also developing skills in printing, bookmaking, motion literacy, user-interface, and web-based design. At the graduate level, students engage in project-oriented activities that foster analytical competence in research, writing, design history, and image theory, culminating in a public exhibition of the master’s research paper and project.
Design is city-centric and Chicago is a global design center. Through involvement in Chicago chapters of national design associations, employment in professional internships, and critical exposure to design practices and exhibitions, our students become active in the real world of design as they pursue their professional degree. design.uic.edu/
