The Design Graduate Program explores the connections between people and their created surroundings. This curriculum covers theoretical foundations, investigative methods, and practical implementation, drawing from artistic disciplines along with social and behavioral sciences. Students learn to critically examine, assess, and synthesize conceptual models concerning human-environment interactions. The program offers three specialization paths: Apparel Studies, Graphic Design, and Interior Design. Available degrees comprise Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MS), Master of Fine Arts (MFA, exclusively for Graphic Design), and Doctor of Philosophy. The program encourages interdisciplinary cooperation throughout the university, allowing students to enroll in complementary courses, participate in research groups, and study alongside peers from various departments. We maintain dedicated partnerships with both local communities and professional sectors to foster innovation and enhance quality of life.
Anyone who has or will obtain a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution in the U.S. or a comparable degree from an officially recognized college or university outside the U.S. may apply for graduate admission.
The preferred undergraduate GPA for admittance to the program is 3.00.
