Pick a path to suit your goals and experience. We encourage students to take a broad view of design and engage in radical invention as they become active creators of a better future.
Through coursework and research, our students learn a rigorous process for documenting, analyzing, and understanding the past and present-in order to propose more desirable systems and interactions for the future. Our programs are unified by a framework that responds to changes in design, while also seeking to shape the future of the discipline and advance the field as it matures.
Designers can no longer think about products or communications in isolation to practice ethically and effectively, they must also consider interactions within broader social and environmental contexts. Our approach acknowledges the social and natural worlds as the greater context for all design problems. Our practice plays an increasingly important role in shaping the interactions people have with products, services, and systems that can have substantial impact on their experience. Design has become a highly interactive, collaborative, and transdisciplinary activity that is integral to the success of businesses and institutions worldwide. Organizations are actively seeking new problem-solving approaches that respond to escalating business, social, and environmental challenges. Learn to design for the present and the future. They are comfortable working collaboratively in transdisciplinary teams, and bring a holistic, research-based approach to design that helps them stand out among their peers. Our students become “systems thinkers,” able to see and solve complex problems in a globally connected and interdependent world. These key factors shape our program and inform the thinking, methods, and practice of designers who graduate from the School of Design. We’re also one of the first programs to integrate the topics of sustainability and social innovation into the core of our research and curriculum. Our students are exposed to a broad curriculum, and are encouraged to collaborate with peers from other disciplines. We are one of the only leading design schools to offer degrees at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels within a top-ranked multidisciplinary research university.
