Master in Design Studies (M.Des.)
Harvard Graduate School of Design
The Master in Design Studies (MDes) post professional program at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design is aimed at those who want to pair their design knowledge with tools to enable careers in public service, academia, NGOs, innovative ventures, as well as developing specific expertise for design practice. The Ecologies Domain investigates relationships among changing environments, varied forms and traditions of human settlement, and the material, infrastructural, and ecological networks required to sustain life.
Applicants select one of four domains of study—Ecologies, Narratives, Publics, and Mediums—and undertake a core set of courses, including research methods and related topical courses.
