Maryland Institute College of Art

In our core GD MFA Studio course, first-year students work on individual and collaborative projects that reflect on the visual language and cultural impact of design. These projects immerse designers in thinking and rethinking their own visual vocabularies and to engage with issues and ideas. Projects initiated in the first-year GD MFA Studio course often became the seeds for independent thesis work.
