Program Overview

IIT Institute of Design’s dual-degree Master of Design and Master of Business Administration program combines a user-centered, methods-based approach with a core management education. It’s ideal for professionals who aspire to lead collaborative, interdisciplinary innovation initiatives within global organizations. In this unique program, students pursue two graduate degrees simultaneously, one with IIT Institute of Design (ID) and one with Stuart School of Business.

ID prepares students to effectively address dynamic and complex business, civic, and social challenges with rigor, depth, and imagination. Our M.Des. and M.B.A. program curriculum gives students the real-world skills needed to integrate, interconnect, and innovate beyond common design practice.

ID students are taught to shape compelling opportunities through actively developing insight from multiple perspectives, exploring options through aggressive prototyping and critique, and identifying valuable directions that prompt action and support resilient change. Students learn through hands-on projects and real-world challenges, both individually and in team collaborations.
