A dual MBA/MDes or MBA/MDM degree program combines graduate professional education in both business and design. As design becomes regarded more and more as an essential business resource, professional education that links the two fields is increasingly important and desirable. The dual degree program integrates design's user-centered, methods-based approach to innovation with core management education in marketing, project accounting, organizational behaviour and the like. Upon graduation, MBA/MDes graduates are uniquely qualified to lead collaborative, interdisciplinary, global innovation organizations.
Students graduate with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) and a Master of Design (MDes) or Master of Design Management (MDM) degree.
