Why did you choose the MSD program?  

When I decided to pursue my second master's in a more research oriented program, I found the MSD a great choice since most of the core courses were design research and methodology related and I previously heard about the design research symposium which was held by ASU students. I also visited the school and professors previously and loved their attitude and friendliness as well as teaching and design philosophy.

What is the best aspect of the MSD program?  

I think the student-faculty relationships and facilities are the best aspects, however I can add that overall friendly atmosphere and facilities are excellent as well.
