now that i've finished an undergraduate degree, my mind is starting to wander. what next? while an mba seems like the next practical choice, i can't help but yearn to do something more creative to complement my marketing + business degree. but without a solid portfolio and an undergrad degree in design, which options are feasible? i don't want classes that are 100% design, but i also don't want to be constantly crunching numbers or hearing lectures about lean six sigma. while those skills are inherently important to running a successful business, they do not carry the same fascination for me that branding does.
the school of visual arts in nyc has a program that appears to be exactly what i (and i'm sure many others) have been looking for. they describe it as a program that will "examine the relationship between design and strategy, and the power of design thinking as a way to combine creative skills with the problem-solving and decision-making processes of design and business." sounds... perfect?
quick facts:
duration of coursework: 1 full year
tuition: $16250. per semester + $6500. + $325. per semester fee = $39975.
design background necessary? surprisingly, no.
acceptance rate: 20-25 students per year
typical post grad jobs: brand consultant, design manager, art director, brand manager + more
it keeps getting better... the program is structured for working professionals so students can continue their work while they study for a year. sign me up.
