Doctor of Design

The art & science of design

In the Doctor of Design degree, "design" is broadly defined as the creative integration of disparate components of knowledge, resources and experience towards an applied outcome that contributes to socio-cultural well-being.  Students and faculty focus on applying research and advancing knowledge in the design disciplines while addressing a demonstrated void in design education. 

Doctor of Design students work to bridge education, research, and practice within a philosophical and pedagogical framework of interdisciplinary inquiry and critical synthesis.
