Design is Transformative. Create more beautiful worlds.

Together we are building a community of creativity and scholarship in accordance with our common mission and greater societal purpose, further advancing the significance of design and its capacities for high-impact, performance-driven, and very real-world socio-environmental transformations.

We remain steadfast in our goals to enable our students to become active and energetic design leaders, who celebrate our multicultural bearings, respect and preserve the greater environment, and create innovative solutions toward beauty, betterment and overall well-being at many levels of engagement. An advanced degree in design can lead to many professional career and even personal paths, be it an artist, a designer, an entrepreneur, an innovator, a community leader, or even game-changer toward new world paradigms.
