MID students will take no more than 10 graduate credits per semester as indicated in their Plan of Study and enter the program during Spring Semester. A maximum of 10 graduate credit hours from other disciplines which are related to the study, can be applied toward the credit requirement with the approval of the major professor. Student should select a graduate faculty from the Department of Industrial Design as the major professor with the agreement of that faculty. An advisory committee should be formed under recommendation of the major professor and the department head. The official plan of study must be approved by the advisory committee.
Succcessful completion requires the unanimous support of all members of the advisory committee.
If a student fails the examination, one re-examination may be given on recommendation of the advisory committee and approval by the dean of the Graduate School. Students who do not have a Baccalaureate in Industrial Design are required to develop theoretical research with a product design. Students who have a Baccalaureate in Industrial Design are allowed to develop pure theoretical research without a product design. Students are also subject to all the general regulations of the Graduate School listed in the Graduate Bulletin.
