General List of Supplies needed for students in art and design majors:

Students in the College of Art and Design will find many, if not all, of the following items useful throughout their time in college, and in life in general!

Students in Illustration, Medical Illustration, Studio Arts, Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Interior Design, Photography, Motion Picture Science and Film Production are encourage to bring the “required” items to school with them to avoid delays in ordering online, and needing to make shopping trips.

Students  in 3DDD, New Media Design, and Animation will also need many of these items in their freshmen foundation courses.
