A New Kind of Design Thinking TransDesign is a two-year, 60-credit program focusing on project-based design work that incorporates a profound understanding of the ways design transforms social relations. Project teams represent multiple disciplines and points of view, reframing the possibilities of design for the larger community. Flexible Pathways Transdisciplinary design is a highly connective practice.
