Program Description:

The Design Management Program (DMP) is a two-year program created to bridge the disciplines of design and business management. It is tailored to provide an executive education more focused than an M.B.A. on the special needs of design leaders managing design firms or managing design teams in creative industries. Participants come from a variety of disciplines, including industrial design, interior design, graphic design, fashion design, communication and information design, interactive media design, and architecture. The curriculum is designed to develop strategic management skills in six study areas related to design management: operations management; financial management; marketing management; organization and human resource management; management of innovation and change; and management of local, regional, and global suppliers, distributors, and markets. The courses provide participants with an integrated focus on the role of design in the creation and management of strategic and sustainable advantage. The program leads to an accredited academic degree, the Master of Professional Studies (M.P.S.) in Design Management. Courses are held in Manhattan.
