The Human Environment and Design major educates students in fundamental theories and practices of design, and also helps students develop their creative and organizational skills as designers. During their academic years, students are expected to explore three areas of design: product design, fashion design, and visual design, and integrate their area.

This major is based on a design philosophy that is extensively related to our daily lives. Students are trained in artistic, scientific and technical approaches to become experts in various aspects of design. After graduation, students will be able to work in every design field, including product design, fashion design, visual design and design management. Many students work as furniture designers, fashion designers, accessory designers, colorists, interior product designers, design editors, display artists, visual merchandisers, graphic designers, web designers, design coordinators and design directors.
