A new four-year degree offered by the Iowa State University College of Design will offer more options for students this fall. The new degree program will provide a means for students who are not ready to commit to a single design discipline to explore their options, or provide a springboard for a professional graduate degree, ISU officials said. The studio-based degree consists of one year in the college’s freshman core design program, followed by three years in the bachelor’s degree program. It will also provide those interested in pursuing a second major outside of design, such as business, advertising or engineering.
