About the course

IIT Institute of Design?s Master of Design Methods program is for experienced professionals, both designers and non-designers, who need twenty-first century innovation skills to take their careers to the next level. Often students consider M.D.M. as a creative alternative to an M.B.A. Our popular part-time option allows students to take what they learn one evening in class to work the next day.

　　IIT Institute of Design (ID) is known for its pioneering, human-centered approach to design. Thus, our human-centered design sequence is the cornerstone, and only requirement of, our M.D.M. program. For their remaining courses, students are encouraged to customize their own paths at ID, mixing and matching according to their professional goals and interests, and integrating other disciplines and domains into their studies.

　　To focus their studies, students choose from two of five concentrations: Service and Systems Innovation, Cross-Functional Collaboration, Business Management and Leadership, Social Systems, and Data and Design. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
