SVA launches new MFA in Design for Social Innovation

 

Social innovation is the application of new strategies and models to solving the challenges the world faces and to strengthening society.

The MFA in Design for Social Innovation will prepare students to apply the principles and ethics of social innovation as filters for understanding and as a discipline for engaging with and improving the world through design.

Graduates of the program will be more than graphic designers, filmmakers, advertising creative directors or interactive systems designers. They will be all these, mastering all the skills and knowledge of how to apply them to have a positive impact on business, society and their own lives.

Who I am: My name is Ben Mulkey, I'm a designer / writer and PSU graduate. 

What this blog post is about: My experience attending grad school on a Masters of Art course in the UK.

As told through a series of subject headings which substitute the abbreviated words in Masters of Art (MA) to form new two-word combinations that allude to my experiences while studying abroad.

Our intrepid grad, Ashley Steven's generously reports from grad school at School of Visual Arts in NYC! Thanks Ashley - we love to hear what you are up to!  

It's almost the end of second semester now, and I can't believe that there's only one more semester until I'm done! The second year of the MFA program is a lot different than the first year. The first year is much more of a "boot camp," where students have a project due almost every day, but the whole second year is devoted primarily to thesis.
