Systems Thinking (online) | Minneapolis College of Art and Design

Systems Thinking (online)

We are transitioning from the age of design for the part to the age of design for the whole. Systems thinking, languages of design, and product life cycles are integrated and they form the solid foundation for innovative products.

This course provides students with the tools required to succeed in today's dynamic market and a world of uncertainty. Actionable theory is absorbed through market-specific projects. / This course is a graduate level course and is part of the Master of Arts in Sustainable Design program.

Open to students ages 18 and above. Review complete policies, including class cancellation policies before completing your registration.
