The Department of Art and Design at the University of Alberta favors fluid inter-disciplinarity. In Design studies, for instance, the academic programs enlist the active integration of other programs, or routes, such as Design with Business-Marketing, with Computing Sciences, Engineering, Psychology and Sociology. The department utilizes the university environment as an ideal matrix for flexible programs of academic studies to studio disciplines. In addition, the programs also draw on the private sector to provide students with practical experiences and a work-placement program.

The department offers graduate programs leading to an MDes in Industrial Design and Visual Communication Design. Our approach is interdisciplinary, and our purpose is to equip graduates with the ability to develop working methods that prepare them to face new problems in effective and appropriate ways.
