Integrative Design

About

The MS degree in integrative design is not accepting applications at this time. However, if you are interested in understanding and developing the theories, methods, and processes of design and their application in product and service development, we encourage you to explore our master's degrees in industrial design or visual communication design.

The integrative design program enables students with artistic, technical, engineering, and management backgrounds to study and successfully engage with creative development teams. This one-year design master's degree develops your understanding of the theories, methods, and processes of design and their application in product and service development.

A Design Master's Degree

The MS in integrative design establishes a variety of creative design thinking techniques in areas such as systems thinking, brainstorming, immersions, contextual relevance, and empathy–all of which will be used to develop an in-depth understanding of the design process, the product/service life cycle, product/service feasibility, and the integration of social responsibility in product/service design. The program enables students with artistic, technical, engineering, and management backgrounds to study and successfully engage within creative development teams.

A one-year integrative design degree that furthers your understanding of the design process and prepares you to work with creative development teams.
