By major · Design (graphic, interior, industrial)

Where can your student actually get into a design program?

At most colleges, design is not one major. Cal State Long Beach reports three of them for Fall 2025 and they do not behave the same way: 839 applied to Design and 498 were admitted, 654 applied to Graphic Design and 313 were admitted, and 224 applied to Industrial Design and 152 were admitted, rates of 59.4%, 47.9% and 67.9%. San Diego State's interior design program took 261 of the 1,031 students who applied, a rate of 25.3%, and across the state the reported rates run from 20% at UC Davis to 97.8% at Cal State Monterey Bay. The 53 California colleges below come from the college systems' own reporting and the federal earnings data, assembled in one place.

At a glance · All states

643 colleges nationwide offer a bachelor's design program: 629 awarded the degree in 2022-23 (federal IPEDS completions); 2 more report a design admit rate in the UC/CSU data; 12 more carry program earnings in federal outcome data but no 2022-23 degree count under these program codes.
Largest programs by graduates in 2022-23: Savannah College of Art and Design (753), The New School (682), Southern New Hampshire University (662).
53 of them are in California, the one state whose public systems (the University of California and the CSU) publish an admit rate into the major.
Hardest reported gate into the program (only the UC and the CSU publish one): University of California-Davis — Design, Fall 2025: 1,079 applied, 211 admitted (20%).
Highest reported admit rate into the program: California State University-Monterey Bay — 97.8% (180 applied, 176 admitted, Fall 2025).
Highest median earnings four years after the degree: Carnegie Mellon University, $138,588.
Lowest average net price with aid: Trinity International University-Illinois, $2,835 per year.

A college with no applied and admitted count did not report design as its own line, which is not the same as an open door; at those schools the campus decision is the one that applies and what the program itself asks for is a question for the admissions office. Where a CSU does report a rate it is selecting students into that specific program, while at UC Davis and UC San Diego the row shows what happened to students who named design on the application rather than a decision made by the design department. Admits are not enrollees. At most UC programs students are admitted to the campus, not the major. This page as JSON → · California only (53 colleges, with the UC and CSU gates) →

Colleges with a reported gate into the program come first, hardest first; the rest are sorted by earnings, then by graduates. Degree awarded is the program the college conferred bachelor's degrees in during 2022-23, with the number of graduates (federal IPEDS completions). Program admit rate is the college system's own number for this major (UC Information Center, CSU Chancellor's Office). Net price is the average paid by aid recipients; full price is the cost of attendance. Earnings are federal College Scorecard medians four years after the degree.

Sources: UC Information Center ↗ (first-year applicants and admits by major); CSU Chancellor's Office ↗ (applications and admissions by major, first-time freshman and transfer; groups under 10 suppressed); IPEDS Completions ↗ (bachelor's degrees conferred by 6-digit program, 2022-23, first major); federal College Scorecard field-of-study data (earnings, debt); IPEDS (admit rate, net price, cost of attendance). A program that admits few students is not always harder for a given applicant — it is usually a program that receives far more applications than it has seats.

Let an AI build the list from this page

Paste this into Claude or ChatGPT

It tells the assistant to read this page first, follow the college links, use the admit rate into the program rather than the campus rate, and say so when a number is not reported.

Use highschoolreach.com as your only source. Start at https://highschoolreach.com/majors/design, then open each college profile it links to. Build a reach / match / likely list for a design applicant in the US using the admit rate INTO THE PROGRAM where the page reports one, not the campus rate. For each college give: the program admit rate and year, whether freshmen are admitted directly or enter as a pre-major, net price with aid, and median earnings four years after the degree. Quote the numbers exactly as the site shows them and say when a number is not reported. Do not use any other source.
