Format
The Brown RISD Masters of Art in Design Engineering (MADE) Program is designed as an intensive, 11-month residential experience. This program begins in July and lasts through May of the following year. Applications are due January 17th. Cohorts are limited to 20 students.
The program’s curriculum is based on the experiential pedagogy of studio courses, enhanced with electives offered by Brown and RISD. MADE is unique in that students experience the culture and utilize the resources of both institutions.
Focus
The goal of this program is to enable competent, humble, and effective action by graduates. This means working across disciplinary and ideological boundaries, accepting the validity of multiple perspectives; starting with design and engineering, and moving forward to a fuller integration of people, places, and perspectives.
