Student work is where the next decade of the profession shows up first, and the firms that hire from it watch this category closely. The student designer has a brief and no client, which means the discipline has to come from the work itself, and the best entries behave as if a budget were riding on them. By GDUSA award wins, UCO School of Design/University of Central Oklahoma leads student design since 2015 with 198, ahead of Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) (179), The Modern College of Design (115), Pratt Munson College of Art and Design (61), Academy of Art University (47).
