Program Information

Degree Offered

M.F.A. - Design and Technology

Format: Campus

Program Description:

The MFA in Design and Technology explores the social and cultural dimensions of technological change.
Today's designer faces two fundamental challenges: the expanding influence of design within society, and the growing role of technology within design. As a terminal degree, the MFA in Design and Technology (MFA DT) provides a lively and dynamic environment for students to use design research, process, applied theory, and writing to address these challenges. Students push their experimentation beyond the visual: design is seen as a mechanism for developing strategies, knowledge organization, business structures, and social consciousness.
