The RISD MID program is about building a bridge between your past practices and your future place in the broad discipline of industrial design.
The ability to think and communicate across disciplines gives our graduates unique qualifications to tackle interesting challenges in a complex world.
We explore design as a vehicle for addressing social, cultural, and environmental concerns, recognizing that design is not simply a professional service, but rather a way of connecting individual interests and values with a social framework, to provoke positive changes and impacts.
