Not your typical master’s program
We pair classroom learning with practical work to develop, validate, prototype and apply an innovative technological or social solution for a problem or opportunity. It requires idea sharing, research, creative action and iterative change.
Change isn't easy, so our faculty, entrepreneurs and designers-in-residence and industry subject matter experts guide you through its challenges so you can adapt and learn what to expect throughout your career.
