She is getting my favorite named degree: "DESIGN-BS"  (I could easily be an adjunct professor looking as some of the uh, stuff, on my desk right now. A.k.a. Bachelor of Science in Design.)  Really cool looking program.

Surprised she's not going to RISD and starting her own basketball team.  <rim shot>

There are lists for everything, including the most valuable product/industrial design degrees.  I think this is mostly about getting back to LA, playing for Gottlieb, making a lot of money in a short period of time to set herself up for what comes next, and at least making the Final Four.  USC has an MS in Product Development Engineering jointly offered by the aerospace and mechanical engineering departments at Viterbi. 

I wondered if this is the mother of all product design engineering degrees, so I found plenty of lists. Here's a ranked list "from sources across the web" (maybe this is AI - wohoo) returned from the query "best product design engineering graduate programs in the United States". Offered primary in the spirit of how silly these lists can be, but oddly enough there are several P5 basketball schools on this list. Plus whatever league all the art schools play in.

1. Georgia Tech
2. RIT (Rochester - legit design school is my understanding)
3. Arizona State
4. Auburn
5. Carnegie Mellon (Pittsburgh - underrated gem IMO)
6. ArtCenter College of Design (Pasadena)
7. Drexel
8. NC State
9. Stanford
10. Michigan
11. Iowa State
12. Kansas State
13. MIT
14. UC Berkeley
15. Clemson
16. College for Creative Studies (Santa Barbara)
17. Ohio State
18. Illinois Urbana-Champaign
19. Northwestern
20. Pratt Institute (Brooklyn)
21. Purdue
22. USC
23. Parsons School of Design | The New School
24. Cedarville University (Ohio)
 
No RISD?  This list might be bogus.....Wait, it stopped at 24th, so I'll slot them in 25th.
