Studio culture and model photography — Andrew Dahlgren MID07
Like the program itself, our faculty represents a wide range of approaches to the practice of design. Students have access to currently practicing design professionals with backgrounds in fields including: architecture, information design and mapping, cultural anthropology, business, psychology, industrial systems, and environmental design.
Students come with diverse backgrounds and professional experience, but are united in their interest and enthusiasm to engage design in new ways. The program offers graduate design education that prepares students for a practice that puts design process and thinking ahead of the next product development cycle and allows businesses and organizations to creatively learn and innovate. Recent graduates are pursuing careers in a variety of design-related fields.
In addition to the faculty, the group relies on a number of guests and speakers. Many are invited as guest critics, thesis advisors, project consultants, lecturers, or as internship advisors and professional contacts.
