Studio culture is the heart of the MHCI+D program. Our studio is where work happens. It is a place of tremendous creative energy, lively discourse, collaboration and reflection. We encourage externalization of ideas through experimentation, critique, iteration and synthesis. We also engage industry practitioners who bring a real-world perspective to the challenges we pose. Our graduates are ready to face professional practice with solid intellectual foundation and well-developed breadth and depth skills.
