The Department of Design at San José State University is one of the top design programs in California and the best value in design education. Our mission is to shape the next generation of social, political, and environmental innovators by taking full advantage of our proximity to Silicon Valley, the global center of high technology, innovation, venture capital, and social media.

After several years of real-life, practical, design experiences, our students are facing one last challenge in their education in their programs: The Senior Show. Our students demonstrate their design talents and passions through these projects.

Each program—Animation & Illustration, Graphic Design, Industrial Design, and Interaction Design—is hosting their own Senior Show, where the community, near and far, can come together to celebrate our senior's achievements. More information regarding the location and time is available on each programs' page.

We are one department, with four amazing Senior Shows. We hope you enjoy the opportunity to see what makes our department, programs, and talented students so special.
