The School of Industrial and Graphic Design (SIGD) houses two traditional undergraduate degree programs and one minor: Bachelor of Industrial Design, Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and a minor in Industrial and Graphic Design Processes.
Graphic Design was first accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) in 1945 making Auburn University one of the Charter Members of NASAD. In 1993, the Auburn Industrial Design program became the first Industrial Design program to be accredited by NASAD in the south. SIGD houses the only NASAD accredited Industrial and Graphic Design BFA programs within the state of Alabama. Our award-winning faculty are highly motivated and collaborate regularly with industry and other partners to bring real-world projects into the classroom.
