The Glasgow School of Art The School of Art and Design - University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Perception. Innovation. Personal commitment. The MFA program has been constructed to allow artists of keen perception, daring innovation, and unflagging commitment to rise to the top of the industrial design field. Working hand-in-hand with professors and peers, you will wrestle with the philosophies and practices that shape contemporary industrial design. Graduate study in Industrial Design is composed of several types of course work which, seen as a whole, cover the both theoretical and the applied components of design. The design program has a strong user focus, ranging from sustained physical interaction to the very ephemeral user experiences. At the core of graduate studies are examinations of changing social/cultural conditions, human disabilities, new materials and emerging technologies, and opportunities for design and innovation in product development.

Barnard + Columbia Architecture Graduate School of Design - Architecture Welcome to the Department of Architecture The Department of Architecture is rich in diversity, creativity, and scholarship. With an international faculty prominent across the breadth of the field, students are exposed to many different approaches to design. Critics and theorists from around the world supplement the faculty, and together, they introduce students to issues and trends in contemporary architectural design. Central to the school's philosophy is the commitment to design excellence that demands not only the skillful manipulation of form, but also inspiration from a broad body of knowledge. Instruction and research encompass design theory as well as visual studies, history, technology, and professional practice. The educational experience at the GSD is enriched and broadened by close interaction among the departments of architecture, landscape architecture, and urban planning and design, as well as by many other resources at Harvard University and MIT.
