Hi!
Does anyone know of any FL schools offering Industrial/ Product design as a major? Try as I might, I just cannot find any undergrad programs (other than the Art Institutes) offering this major! I keep thinking I must be missing something… Am I doomed to pay OOS tuition for my daughter? Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated! Thanks.
Using UF as an example, you could major in Graphic Design:

And then combine it with design projects, like the following:
If you do end up looking out of state, Auburn has a program, and with a fairly high ACT score, it can be very affordable.
Thank you for the suggestions, Gator88NE! I had no idea the IPPD program existed… will call today to see if it is restricted to Engineering students or open to other disciplines too… That might be a good option… And yes, Auburn and University of Cincinnati seem like they have the most reasonable OOS tuition… I cant believe that among the many, many FL schools, not one offers Industrial design as a major!! And no reciprocal agreement with other states either 
I was going to ask about the reciprocal agreements
UF has lots of multidisciplinary teams that work on “projects”. The IPPD is open to engineering and business majors, but you should ask if a graphics design major can participate. I would also recommend talking with someone about the Graphic Design major. How flexible is it, and what type of project teams (on campus) and internships do they typically join/get? They may have different versions of the “IPPD”, that we don’t know about.
Thanks for the suggestions @Gator88NE ! I will certainly call the department and ask about a design related IPPD experience and see how flexible they would be in allowing us to cobble together a pseudo Industrial design program!
