Academic requirements
First-year students must:
- Have a 3.00 grade point average (GPA) (a "B" or better where "A"=4.00) from a secondary school. Some ASU programs may have higher admission or English proficiency requirements and may consider a minimum ACT or SAT score.

Conditional admission
ASU may offer conditional undergraduate admission to international applicants to an on-campus program who meet the academic (aptitude) requirements but who are not proficient in English. This offer of conditional admission will give you time to improve your English proficiency before you start classes at ASU. Your conditional admission offer is good for up to three semesters, during which time you must meet one of these requirements to begin your ASU experience.
Competency requirements
International students who completed high school outside the U.S. are required to meet the following competency requirements:
- Math: four years (algebra I, geometry, algebra II and one course requiring algebra II as a prerequisite).

Program description
The BSD program in industrial design at The Design School prepares students to envision the future by following the process of ideating, iterating, developing, testing and prototyping new products, services and strategies. Students use interdisciplinary learning to turn creative ideas into successful projects for society.
The program's students have a strong commitment to the environment and the human being; they center their approaches on delivering solutions that are beneficial for society, with a strong sense of humanity, empowered by the latest trends and technologies, always looking to get a positive impact on every scale.
The curriculum of lower-division studio and lecture courses helps students develop a strong foundation of design skills. Upper-division studio courses allow students to collaborate as they address design challenges and work on professional projects and case scenarios. Industrial design students also follow an internship program to balance classroom theory with periods of practical, hands-on experience before graduation.
Concurrent program options
Students pursuing concurrent degrees (also known as a “double major”) earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. Working with their academic advisors, students can create their own concurrent degree combination. Some combinations are not possible due to high levels of overlap in curriculum.
Accelerated program options
This program allows students to obtain both a bachelor's and master's degree in as little as five years. It is offered as an accelerated bachelor's plus master's degree with:
- Global Management (Creative Industries and Design Thinking), MGM
- Global Management (Data Science), MGM
- Global Management (Digital Audience Strategy), MGM
- Global Management (Global Affairs), MGM
- Global Management (Global Business), MGM
- Global Management (Global Development and Innovation), MGM

Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program.
Global opportunities
Global experience
Through study abroad programs, industrial design students learn flexible ways of thinking that contribute to their ability to meet the program goal of creating products and service systems that benefit society. They gain a global perspective and knowledge in preparation for a future-focused career, all while in an international setting. Students earn ASU credit for completed courses while staying on track for graduation, and they may apply financial aid and scholarships toward program costs.
After completing the program successfully, graduates can work as designers in several capacities or develop startup ventures.
Career examples include:
- accessory designer
- automotive designer
- consumer goods designer

Graduates obtain employment with consulting firms that design products, services and experiences for various clients, such as corporate industries, nonprofit institutions and nongovernmental organizations. They keep an entrepreneurial conscience, addressing specific social or environmental problems and providing successful market innovations.
Some graduates pursue teaching courses in art and design schools, colleges or universities. Others have established successful design and manufacturing ventures or led product development teams and innovations at renowned organizations.
