Why did you choose the MSD program?  

I wanted to study the theoretical part of design after four years of undergraduate education which was mostly focused on the studio works. While searching for graduate schools in the U.S, the College of Design's MSD program attracted me by its well developed curriculum which concentrates specifically on design research. The fact that I could choose a detailed area of study based on my interest was the decisive reason of my decision.

What is the best aspect of the MSD program?  

The best aspect of the MSD program is that the interaction between students and faculty is fluent and sufficient. Faculty are very friendly and are willing to communicate with students. Also, the program itself encourages you to get involved in interdisciplinary studies. Faculty from various disciplines are always inclined to give you highly intellectual and professional advice.
