As a fully online learning experience, MCAD’s Master of Arts in Sustainable Design program allows students to stay in their communities to build more sustainable futures. Ideal for working adults who are passionate about sustainability, want to understand the power of design, and to creatively lead sustainable solutions across disciplines and industries. 

If you want to reinvent your work and feel like you are giving back in some way, or just ready to make a change, we invite you to join our Master of Arts in Sustainable Design, Virtual Info Session, April 25th. It could make all the difference. Our presenter Hilmarie Figueroa, a current student in the MA in Sustainable Design program will discuss her project from our newly launched signature course, Design for Climate Justice taught by Teresa Bertossi.

Even if you can’t make it, please register and we’ll send you a recording. You are also welcome to set up a time to chat with me to explore your goals and if this program is a good fit for you.
