FREE: MA in Sustainable Design info webinar!

About the MA Program

We are all struggling with massive disruption; however, massive disruption creates opportunities for massive change. How might you leverage this unique time to make the post-pandemic world more sustainable?

Perhaps you’ve already committed to making personal changes, but what if you want to more — much more? What if you want to commit your professional work to regenerating life on our Earth?

If you’re excited about the power of biomimicry, collaborative design, visual communications, and systems thinking — and want to empower yourself to have a real impact — perhaps our fully online MA in Sustainable Design program might be what you’re looking for.

To learn more, please join us online next Tuesday 12 May 2020 at 1:00pmCT for a FREE informational webinar about MCAD’s fully online MA in Sustainable Design program.

During the webinar, you’ll learn about the program, the courses you’ll take, and how to apply.  You’ll also get to ask a recent graduate why she joined the program, what her experience was like, and what she plans to do with her degree. Even if you can’t make the live webinar time, go ahead and register and we’ll send you the recording.

In the meantime, we invite you to explore these FREE resources:

Not sure if this program is a good fit for you and your goals?  It’s a big decision and there’s a lot to consider. Please feel free to contact me and we can set up a time to chat about you and your goals.
