PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
The Master of Design (MDes) in Inclusive Design is primarily a course-based degree program with a culminating major project. The program will be comprised of two, two-week intensive on-site summer sessions, followed by online courses during the fall and winter semesters. It is expected that students will complete the program in two years (six semesters with a culminating event in the seventh semester).
