Introduction
MASTER OF DESIGN: DESIGN INNOVATION(MDES)
Emphasizing four key skill areas (empathy, analysis, contextual understanding, and communication), the curriculum is designed to teach students how to effectively define and solve a problem, and to impart critical leadership skills for mobilizing and motivating teams toward successful outcomes.
Our interdisciplinary approach trains students to identify underlying problems, develop actionable solutions, and make strategic business decisions within the context of real-world economic, social, and environmental challenges.
In addition to its core MassArt faculty, the Design Innovation program hosts a leading group of talented and pioneering professionals each semester as visiting lecturers. Classes are co-taught by design and business professors in a fully integrated, collaborative teaching model.
