About the MA Program

If you’re reading this, you’re probably already exploring or even engaging in sustainability or sustainable design.  If so, thank you!

If you’re here because you want to know more, here are some ways you can dip, dabble, or dive into the world of sustainable design.

Dip

If you want to know more, but you’re not sure that you’re ready for a big commitment, here are a few things you can dip into:

  • Explore all of the blogs posted to our MA in Sustainable Design blog site. Some of the posts are about events or about our students, alumni, and faculty. Others are thought pieces on topics ranging from Carbon to Bucky Fuller to shifting paradigms.
  • Explore all of the thesis projects that our students have worked on since the program began. When you click the links, you’ll be taken to MCAD’s digital library where you can actually download the whole thesis.
  • Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.  In addition to learning what we care about, you’ll learn about upcoming events and courses (including our free Biomimicry MOOC in the spring).
