Preparing students with a solid foundation in textile design

The Iowa State University is organized into nine colleges.  The College of Design offers six academic programs.  The curriculum in art and design leading to the BFA degree in Integrated Studio Arts (ISA), is an integrative program that allows students to select focused study.  

Students enter the Integrated Studio Arts (ISA) program in their sophomore year after completing the college core requirements.  During their sophomore years, students enroll in four studio courses that are each comprised of two eight-week long intensives that introduce them to each of the studio areas.  They then select with the help of a faculty advisor, an area of focused study.  

Students awarded a BFA in studio arts must complete a professional practice seminar that concludes with an exhibition of their finest work.  As one of the ISA offerings, the fiber area prepares students with a solid foundation in woven and surface design.
