MDes Spring 2022 Cohort Diversity

One thing we’re most excited about with this cohort is the diverse backgrounds and experiences each admit is bringing with them. The Spring 2022 cohort is composed of 45% men and 55% women; with experience in a diverse range of fields and practices including architecture, cognitive science, computer science, design, engineering, entrepreneurship, interdisciplinary studies, and mathematics. With an international population of 52%, this cohort represents six different countries, including China, Germany, Greece, India, Mexico, and the United States.

Human-centered design is central to the MDes program, not only as a core aspect of its education but as a foundational principle that informs the ways we shape the MDes community and culture. As designers, we are deeply committed to learning from all stakeholders – faculty, students, and staff – as we launch, develop, and refine the details of the MDes experience. With such a diverse group as our first cohort, we are already seeing a rich exchange of ideas and information!
