Janelle Zara at ARTINFO says “Look Out, SVA!” Parsons Launches a Design Studies Masters Program of Its Own.” We’re glad word is getting out about the new program and are eagerly looking forward to welcoming our first year’s class of fifteen students — or, in Zara’s words, “design wonks” who share our “broad view of the field and its potential as an agent of change in virtually every realm.” If you’re thinking of applying, a few tips:

  • Check out the other graduate programs at Parsons to make sure Design Studies is the right one for you.
  • Start a draft of your essay — one way to start is to ask a few friends to tell you how they would describe your strengths and interests.
  • Get in touch! We’re a friendly bunch and are looking forward to hearing from you.

Program Update

Parsons is not currently admitting new students to this master’s degree program. Parsons is now offering a Graduate Minor in Design Studies that is designed to complement the MA History of Design and Curatorial Studies and other graduate programs across the university in design, liberal arts, and social research.
