MDes Student Cohort Fall 2025

Entering in Fall 2024 and graduating in Fall 2025, our fifth cohort brings together 47 exceptional minds selected from the most competitive application cycle in program history. Setting a new benchmark for global perspective, MDes2025 spans 10 distinct nationalities—our most internationally diverse class to date. The group forms a balanced convergence of backgrounds, split evenly across design, technical engineering, and hybrid disciplines. Reflected in both perspective and identity, the class is 77% women, 23% men, and 7% nonbinary, and proudly features 2 Arcus Social Justice Corps Fellows alongside 1 Mastercard Foundation Scholar.
