Let’s be real: Going back to school is a big commitment, and you want to make sure the return on investment is worthwhile. If you’re looking for an opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of design, business, or communication, here’s why Furman’s Master of Arts in Strategic Design might be the perfect fit for you:

  • You don’t need a background in graphic design or communications to be accepted — diverse undergraduate majors are welcome to apply.
  • This two-year, portfolio-based program ensures you graduate with real-world experience and a network of industry contacts.
  • Fun fact: The MASD program has a 98% job placement rate within six months post-graduation.

Applications for the Fall 2024 semester are due Saturday, June 1. MASD graduates have gone on to work as account managers, brand strategists, graphic designers, art directors, illustrators, copywriters, public relations managers, marketing managers, and more.
