Industrial Design
Industrial designers combine form, function and aesthetics to develop products used every day by people around the world.
Kean's design programs provide a solid foundation in general design, visual arts and art history as well as extensive hands-on experience to prepare graduates with the background and skills needed to confidently shape the world through design.
With a focus on sustainable and social design as well as form development and functionality of the design concept, Kean's program approaches design from a human-centered, environmentally conscious perspective.
Kean industrial design students benefit from a studio-based program that combines knowledge and skills with practical experience through networking opportunities, internships, part-time employment, and exciting professional events.
Small class sizes, high-quality faculty and proximity to professionals in the New York metro area are highlights of the program.
