Students who wish to pursue careers in creative industries work with faculty to develop concepts that combine design innovation and business know-how. Group projects that require research, prototyping, experimentation, selfreflection, collaboration, decision making, and best practices enable students to develop problem-solving skills and strategies that relate to a broad range of creative enterprises. Innovative New York entrepreneurs and design experts detail the interrelation of design and management. The course does not focus on fashion marketing or merchandising. Instead, students address design thinking and business strategies that apply to a broad range of design enterprises.
Student visas are required and must allow for full time intensive study. Please note that Canadian citizens who wish to study full time should have an I-20 upon entry to the US. Check the ISS website for more details.
