In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. Masters degree programs may consist of a pre-professional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree which, when earned sequencially, comprise an accredited professional education. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree. The program focuses on global product design and emphasized sustainable-cycle design. This is the only degree-granting program in industrial design in Louisiana.
