"Ecosa provided the education I was yearning for while the overall program - field trips, a new location, meeting and living with new people - seemed to provide the 'semester abroad' experience that I also felt was very important."
We accept adventurous, bold, and self-directed students of all backgrounds, including those with design and non-design based degrees. Design permeates every aspect of our lives and a deep understanding of whole-systems thinking will benefit professionals in every field. Students who participate in our program are pioneers searching for significant learning and novel ways of thinking. Our students understand the need to develop skills that will enable them to navigate the changes coming in the 21st century.
Admission is rolling and space is limited to 10 students per cohort. Application deadline for FALL 2012 is April 1, 2012.
While a bachelor’s degree is preferred for those applying to Ecosa's Masters program, applicants who demonstrate equivalent work history and maturity are encouraged to apply. Before you apply, read the Frequently Asked Questions about Ecosa's innovative Masters curriculum.
All applicants are required to submit:
Two letters of recommendation
A two-page single-spaced autobiographical sketch including the experiences that you believe interested you in design as well as your educational history and career goals.
