Enter: The Master of Arts in Strategic Design (MASD) program, which combines the expertise of Furman’s Art, Communication Studies, English, and Business departments to help students thrive as innovative problem-solvers.

Perfect for both recent grads and working professionals, MASD students gain skills beyond design (think: storytelling, brand engagement, UX/UI, and more), preparing them for roles like brand strategist, art director, copywriter, creative director, social media strategist, and public relations manager — just to name a few.

Applications for Fall 2025 are due July 1.
