Hey,
I’m loking for a Masters program in the US that is more than just ‘two more years in product design’.
The ideal would be a user centered approach, transdisciplinary curriculum (not just product but open to service, interaction solutions, graphic…) more conceptual than engineering program, more from an arts &human sciences faculty than a sciences one. I’ve seen some, but as I’m living in Europe, can’t really get some first hand information (or personally visit the centers), so I’ll appreciate any clues!
Parsons’ Transdisciplinary design sounds fine to me but as it’s a new one nobody seems to know anything about it. Same reason I can’t check any alumni portfolio etc…
Stanford’s d.school seems to be IDEO’s source but you have to be enroled to a graduate at stanfords, and the one in ID doesn’t seem anything special to me…
Cranbrook looks nice but i’m quite disappointed with the student’s work… if it’s all about conceptual furniture I’ll rather go to Eindhoven academy.
Pratt? CCA? RSID? All of them great reputation,but do they have differential MA offer?
Any feedback would be strongly appreciated
thanks,
m
