Studio Elements
Third year students in the IMD degree are required to take three (10 credit) IMD‐specific content courses. These unique studio courses will provide students with be grounded in learning a series of “content modules” as well as apply them to a specific sequence of design/development processes. Students will also use contemporary software tools and techniques during this process.
Content modules will be integrated into the studio sequence and will vary in length depending on topic area. These will be taught by subject matter experts from a variety of disciplines within and outside of IMD‐specific faculty. Each studio elements course comprises two critical components for assessment – the first is based upon mastery/knowledge of academic content in specific knowledge domains (IMD 35X); the second is based process/product elements (IMD 36X). Students will be required to maintain a portfolio of all work that will be evaluated as part of the IMD 36X assessments.
