Design and information are key factors in the global economy even the most mundane products are infused with attention to form and user interactivity. The CCS MFA in Design applies an interdisciplinary approach, merging together creativity and market opportunities in an environment that teaches students to create solutions that meet the needs of today's complex and ever-changing world. Students often work in teams to explore design problems within the context of both current and future social, cultural, economic, and environmental scenarios. Students gain first-hand experience working with industry clients on commercially oriented assignments.

The program builds upon a foundation of design skills, and it enables students to understand the strategic context and potential impact of their work. Brand strategy, cultural analysis and user-experience research drive studio practice. Through structured course work and studio projects, students learn processes and vocabulary - critical tools for taking a leadership role in today's global business environment.
The CCS MFA in Design seeks to produce designers who are strategic thinkers and innovators, designers with the ability to lead in shaping the business of design.
