The Master of Science in Creative Collaboration and Multidisciplinary Design is an executive education degree rooted in the creative process as the main driver for adaptive thinking, dynamic communication, and empowering collaboration. In today’s highly networked organizational structures, current and future leaders will need the skills to navigate the creative process, respond to shifting landscapes with agility, and articulate their vision through multiple modalities in ways that inspire, connect, and call others to action. This highly interactive, experiential degree will provide students with a combination of design skills and creativity techniques in a project-based learning environment to foster innovative leadership and empower communication. Graduates will leave with a flexible toolkit to nurture their individual creativity, adaptability in the face of rapid change, and skills to become well-rounded strategists and communicators.
