The dual-degree Master of Design and Master of Business Administration program at IIT Institute of Design merges a user-focused, methodology-driven approach with essential business training. This program is tailored for professionals aiming to spearhead cross-disciplinary innovation efforts in international enterprises. Participants earn two graduate degrees concurrently—one from IIT Institute of Design (ID) and another from Stuart School of Business.
ID equips students to tackle evolving business, societal, and organizational challenges with creativity, thoroughness, and precision. The combined M.Des. and M.B.A. coursework provides practical abilities to synthesize ideas, forge connections, and push beyond conventional design boundaries.
At ID, students master the art of uncovering opportunities by synthesizing diverse viewpoints, rapidly prototyping solutions, and pinpointing impactful strategies that drive meaningful transformation. Learning occurs through immersive projects and authentic industry challenges, working both independently and in collaborative teams.
