Graduate
Graduate students in industrial design are often from disparate backgrounds, but they find a common passion for creative problem solving and empathy.
Classes feature in-class networking through instructors who are well established leaders in their fields. Lecture series feature visiting scholars and practitioners. And research and exhibition opportunities keep graduate students connected and engaged with the design industry.
Studios, on the other hand, look like a detective's lab. Students pin pictures of existing products and concepts to the walls, drawn together in a crisscross of yarn, sticky notes, mind maps and other inspirations. It's a mesmerizing experience that may only make sense to the designer who put it together, but graduate students find calm and humor in the chaos.
