Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.

The postgraduate Design Management program prepares you for a career managing design strategically.

The courses cover the essential elements of a business strategy and how design contributes to the definition and realization of the strategy.
