Policy and design strategy courses integrate resources from both Milano and Parsons School of Design. These classes allow Milano students to blend key aspects of design thinking approaches into their public and urban policy studies. Degree candidates typically allocate the majority of their elective credits toward coursework at Parsons' School of Design Strategies.

The curriculum highlights design-oriented and spatial perspectives when examining urban development and public service systems. Learners view design as both an academic discipline and practical field that offers critical frameworks and methodologies for collaboratively creating accessible, community-driven urban environments and services.
