The Bachelor of Design (BDes) degree is a four-year degree that offers three areas of design specialization: products (industrial design), communication (graphic design) and the design of physical and digital environments. Our curriculum emphasizes the importance of designing for the interactions between people, the built (designed) world and the natural world (environment). CMU has one of the only undergraduate programs in design that enables students to customize their degree. They can choose to specialize in one of the three areas or combine any two in an interdisciplinary concentration. The first three semesters introduce students to all three areas of design specialty and provide them with the flexibility to adjust their path as their interests become clearer.

Location

You can always find something new in the city of Pittsburgh. Between the 88 neighborhoods and districts and the 10 colleges with 86,000 students in the area – there’s so much to explore and so many different types of people to meet along with things to do in Pittsburgh.


Oakland, Shadyside and Squirrel Hill are the closest neighborhoods to campus and easy to explore by foot. But if you’re looking to go beyond the nearby vicinity and have mapped out a plan to see more than the obvious, your Carnegie Mellon student ID will double as your bus pass throughout Allegheny County – including the Pittsburgh International Airport.
