PNCA MFA Collaborative Design

Repost from : The MFA in Collaborative Design and MA in Design Systems reimagine what design can do in the world, producing creative and ethical leaders who will drive positive impact in private, public, and nonprofit sectors. Students, faculty, partners, and clients work together on complex problems using a collaborative, systems-based, and human-centered approach.

Students engage with the most innovative professional minds in Portland, Oregon, and access new technologies and partnerships via our diverse faculty and mentor networks.

With a shared vision for the ability of interdisciplinary and creative leadership to effect systemic change, we imagine a world that is radically more equitable, inclusive, and resilient.

Our programs believe that socially minded, environmentally sensitive designers foster a more humane world that can meaningfully address the emerging challenges of the 21st century, including climate change, racial injustice, poverty and healthcare.

Applications for fall 2022 are due on Feb. 1st. Visit the link in our bio to apply today!
