Overview

Features

It’s a balance of the academic and practical. Social design is a practice that can be mastered only by practicing it. This is an experience-based program where you’ll learn to think critically, explore, iterate and measure. You’ll also have a robust résumé before you graduate.

The Design for Social Innovation program at School of Visual Arts defines design broadly. And the curriculum reflects that. You’ll study with a group of pioneering practitioners who have worked in development, health care, media, tech, government, game design, research, business strategy and innovation, and social design. We are now STEM certified, too.
