Purpose

5 items
  1. Interdisciplinary Creative Studies: Students will be expected to expand the boundaries of traditional academic scholarship. They will pursue outside subject areas and incorporate different types of creative problem-solving skills into their design studies and individual practice.
    Not resolved to a course
  2. Integrative Skills: Students learn to collaborate with creative thinkers from other disciplines. It provides students with strategies, skills, and concepts to foster creative thinking and collaboration, resulting in improved performance and resourcefulness.

  3. Inquiry Learning: The design program employs an inquiry-based approach to teaching and learning to increase intellectual engagement and foster a deeper understanding through the development of a hands-on, minds-on and ‘research-based disposition’ towards teaching and learning. “How to Learn” vs “What to Learn”, Inquiry honors the complex, interconnected nature of knowledge construction, striving to provide opportunities for both instructors and students to collaboratively build, test and reflect on their learning.
    Not resolved to a course
  4. International Exposure: Students in the program must complete a personal experience that is substantial and directly immerses the student in a different culture. Examples include most study abroad/faculty-led study away programs or a domestic multi-day immersion in the design, culture, art, history, architecture, traditions and lifestyle of a different culture or social group. This will strengthen student adaptation to the current global design industry. Advisor and Program approval are required prior to participating in the cross-cultural experience.
    Not resolved to a course
  5. Identity Formation: Students develop a strong creative identity through a concentration of cross-disciplinary studies. It allows them to explore and combine their strengths and areas of interest in their design discipline.
