About this program
The Master of Arts in Design invites you to solve meaningful problems through design. In this two-year, 30-unit program, you learn user-centered, universal and community-driven methods across visual communication and product design. You work with faculty to build a focused area of study and complete a culminating project — thesis or creative work. The program welcomes students from both design and non-design backgrounds who want to deepen design expertise, explore research, or lead within creative fields.
