IIT Institute of Design: Master of Design Methods
Specially tailored for working design professionals, the MDM can be completed full-time in two semesters or part-time in 4 or 6 semesters. It draws on the Institute of Design�s particular strengths in design methodology, allowing practitioners with established studio and project management skills to develop additional competency in methods like user observation and research, prototyping, interaction design, visualization and strategic design planning.
The MDM is ideal for the mid-career designer seeking a stepping-stone to management, and the ability to drive design decisions and product development strategy in conjunction with marketing, finance and other functions. The user-centered methods taught in the MDM provide a way to support proposed solutions with hard research and a clear business case. From an employer�s perspective, designers with a toolkit of these methods are invaluable as leaders of the innovation and development process.
