CURRICULUM
The curriculum is strongly interdisciplinary in nature and is designed to reflect the multilayered complexity of color as a subject. In the theoretical domain, the program offers a broad range of courses spanning color science and color psychology to art history and design theory, providing students with an in-depth understanding of how color functions across diverse contexts. In the practical domain, students gain extensive hands-on experience with a variety of media, ranging from digital tools and screen-based design to traditional print and material-based techniques, thereby developing broad professional competencies.
In the foundation area of the major, courses such as Color Form and Composition, Color Science, Color Culture, and Color Marketing are offered. In the advanced area, the curriculum focuses on establishing methodological frameworks for color design and color planning in the fields of product and environmental design. Through industry–academic collaboration projects conducted by the university’s Color Design Research Institute—established with support from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy—students are able to directly experience professional color design practice within the curriculum. The program also actively incorporates the institute’s specialized infrastructure, including color measurement equipment and digital color analysis systems, into coursework and research, thereby providing a practice-oriented educational environment that bridges theory and application.
