Mapping US Grad Programs in ID

I didn’t look into these schools as much as the others, so my understanding is less-informed, but I would place Georgia Tech in top right quadrant (industry-driven and object-oriented) and SCAD in bottom right (artistic and object-oriented). Does this match your understanding of these programs? If your alma mater that you mentioned is Eindhoven, I would place it in the top left (technology-driven and thinking-oriented).

As for the balanced approach, this chart purposefully exaggerates their characteristics to illustrate their “market positions.” I think all of these US programs are well-balanced for what they seek to achieve. In fact, most of the chairs of these programs would probably claim their programs are right in the middle.
