GRADUATE PROGRAMS
ID offers a professional degree: the Master of Design, as well as a research degree: the Ph.D. Ours is the first doctoral program in design in the United States. Admission to the professional education and the research programs is competitive.
Our graduate curriculum is the world's most highly focused and intensive program for learning advanced methods and for exploring new theories of design. The development of separate research and professional degrees addresses the new commitment of the field to the importance of design research, while recognizing an increasing demand for professional education at the mastery level.
M.Des. Program
The M.Des. program is a professional program terminating with a design or photography project demonstrating the application of new theories and processes to contemporary and developing problems.
Ph.D. Program
ID is the first design school in the United States to offer a Ph.D. degree program. The Ph.D. culminates with a dissertation that extends the body of knowledge about design theory and process.
We also offer a M.S. program that leads to a research thesis in design theory or process and is taken as preparation for the Ph.D. program when a candidate does not already hold a master's degree in design.
