Offers degree specialization in Graphics, Illustration, Product, Fashion and Interior design.
Details: The School of the Arts and Design (StAD) was established in January, 2006. We evolved from the previous Department of Design (DoD), in the University, which had been in existence since the mid-1960s. By 1967, a 3 year Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts and Bachelor of Arts in Design were offered as degree courses. Admissions were by portfolio until 1975. The basic structure was a one-year foundation course for both degree programs and a specialization (major) with subsidiaries (minors) selected for the proceeding two years.
In 1973-1974 Fine Art moved to Kenyatta College, presently Kenyatta University and the Design Degree course moved towards preparing students for professional careers in design especially in the fields of Graphics, Textiles and Exhibition Design. In the following years there were few inclusions and deletions from the previous year in the area of Studio and Workshop. The early eighties listed the service of Departments such as Economics, Engineering (Polytechnic), Art (Polytechnic) and Architecture. However, fundamental changes were made to the syllabus in preparation for the 8-4-4- groups in the early nineties where specializations were re-introduced. These specializations were Graphic Design, Product Design, Textile Design and Interior Design.
