Sponsored Studios
Help train the next generation of designers with
the UO Sports Product Design Program
The Sports Product Design program at College of Design is known for its highly successful Sports Product Design program.
ArtCenter is renowned for its highly successful Sponsored Programs. One of the College’s premier offerings, these educational collaborations, funded by corporate partners, take place either in 14-week curricular courses (Sponsored Studios) or in short, immersive workshops (DesignStorms), both of which simulate a professional studio environment. In these courses and workshops, a real-world design challenge is explored and top industry leaders provide onsite feedback and mentorship as the class moves through the design process. Sponsored Programs provide an enriched educational experience for our students that often leads to internships and career opportunities. Some students even describe these experiences as life-changing. Corporations from around the globe seek out these collaborations with ArtCenter in order to witness firsthand how tomorrow’s leading artists and designers problem-solve and create. A sponsorship fee paid by our corporate sponsors underwrites each incredible educational experience. A portion of this funding is considered a philanthropic gift and goes directly to support ArtCenter, providing critical unrestricted financial resources to the College. Last fiscal year, we were thrilled to offer Sponsored Programs with the following partners: Adobe, Astek, Bernhardt, Epic Games, General Motors, Gigabyte, Gravity Sketch, Hoka, Koenig & Bauer, Lululemon, Mars Inc., Meta, Meyers Manx, Nissan, Pasadena Art Alliance, Royal Caribbean, Stellantis and Volvo.
Studios by the numbers
The Sports Product Design program at the University of Oregon is a one-of-one, innovative graduate program. Every student who comes through ends up making their mark on the profession and I highly recommend supporting their studios if you are eager to find up and coming talent.
