My son is interested in Industrial Design, he applied to ND with an interest in this major. Can anyone share their experiences or observations in this area of study at ND. Acceptance to ND is a long shot as his stats for ND are in the 25% range. Other schools he applied to for ID, his stats are in the 50% range–and they have well recognized Industrial Design programs. If he were accepted to ND, I think he’d pick ND because its ND–over the other schools with well recognized ID programs.
Perhaps I’m getting ahead of myself, but just curious about the program at ND. We love ND–my daughter is there, so I get why he’d pick the school over a program elsewhere.
Hi @luloobee my son is also applying for industrial design at ND. I also don’t know about the design school at ND, I know Ohio State Univ and Iowa State Univ have good Industrial Design program but have no clue about ND.
Hi my daughter is a freshman at ND and pursuing ID. During her decision process we met with some of the faculty. I was so impressed with their enthusiasm for the program and genuine interest in the students. They mentioned that they really like it when a student starts out planning to pursue ID as they can start early with electives that are core requirements for ID. As the first semester comes to an end I have been amazed at the design talent my daughter has already shown and it’s only been one semester. She is also planning a Chinese minor. ND has been the perfect fit. My other daughter is a senior in HS and applied EA so we are also waiting anxiously for next week. Good luck to all.
Thank you @newtond2017 that is very encouraging to hear about the faculty and to hear that your daughter had a great first semester!
Thank you also @Merapi42A and good luck to your son as well!
