Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning

(DAAP)

Description of Majors

    Design

The School of Design offers a Bachelor of Science in Design degree with major emphasis in Fashion Design, Graphic Design, Industrial Design, and Digital Design. All programs participate in a mandatory professional practice opportunity which permits students to have quarters of meaningful professionally related experience integrated with academic quarters of study on campus. The School of Design also recognizes new areas of design practice related to recent advances in computer technology. The development of new applications has upgraded the use of computers to a primary methodology for advancing design. The school provides opportunities for those who wish to pursue an education in this new area. As part of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning, the programs in the School of Design are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.

    Art

The School of Art offers undergraduate degrees in Art History and Fine Arts under the guidance of their respective faculties, with an option for art teacher certification for those majors with an interest in public school teaching. Art teacher certification may be elected in either degree program, the BA in Art History or the BFA in Fine Arts. In both cases, the certification option requires a fifth, post-baccalaureate year to complete. Special study requirements are described separately for Art History and Fine Arts in the college bulletin. These requirements may be modified as the College of Education determines our need for further professional studies in education as part of the initiative. Enrollees will be advised of these as they occur. As part of the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning, the Art History program and Fine Arts program are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Arts and Design (NASAD).

    Architecture

The School of Architecture and Interior Design offers undergraduate professional degrees in Architecture and Interior Design. Both programs participate in a mandatory professional practice opportunity which permits students to have quarters of meaningful professionally related experience integrated with academic quarters of study on campus. The Bachelor of Architecture degree at the University of Cincinnati has been accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) since 1948 and its courses satisfy requirements maintained by various state architectural registration boards. It has been a member of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture since 1924. The Interior Design program is accredited by the Foundation for Interior Design Education Research (FIDER) and recognized by the Interior Design Educators Council

    Planning

The programs of the School of Planning prepare students from a variety of backgrounds for careers in the professional practice of planning and various allied fields at the entry level (Bachelors), the more advanced (Master's) and the mid-career (accelerated Master's).  Graduates work at local, regional, state, national and international levels in both the public and private sectors. Typical employers of planners are municipal governments, regional planning agencies, development authorities, NGOs, engineering consultancies, land developers and legal organizations. Planning education integrates a wide range of disciplines (e.g., design, economics, geography, sociology, political science, engineering, etc.), producing professionals of great flexibility.  Specializations are offered in urban design, physical planning, economic and/or international development, environmental planning and community environmental health policy planning.
