海角社区

鈥淭he MSU design program offers so much more than what is seen on their website. And what you learn in class goes far beyond its walls.聽It offers a broad curriculum to this field, allowing you to 鈥渢ailor鈥� the programs to your career goals. Upon seeing classmates go to such various industries, and finally with my graduation, I appreciated the flexibility. It goes to show if you want it bad enough, you鈥檒l get there, and the professors lovingly help guide the way. They鈥檙e also there to cheer you on when times get tough.聽It鈥檚 also incredibly accessible. MSU makes the journey affordable as a whole. Another strong element that defines MSU amongst other programs is the power of not only adjuncts but staff as well. Talk to Scott, hang out with Veronica; in addition to being extremely knowledgeable, they鈥檙e equally passionate about seeing you succeed. This, made the program a family. And what family doesn鈥檛 want you to succeed?鈥�

鈥淟o que m谩s me llevo de este programa y que es m谩s dif铆cil de acceder en el 鈥渕undo real鈥� es la disponibilidad constante de alguien de quien obtener una cr铆tica o con quien pensar un concepto.鈥�

"El programa MSU ID es incre铆blemente 煤nico porque me permiti贸 autodirigir mi pasi贸n dentro del dise帽o. Adem谩s, los profesores animan a los estudiantes a experimentar y encontrar lo que les apasiona. MSU trabaja para fomentar un entorno de trabajo en red saludable que incluye proyectos de dise帽o internacionales, en los que adquir铆 una valios铆sima experiencia de dise帽o en el mundo real. Metro tambi茅n es conocida por sus incre铆bles instalaciones y, como dise帽adora de muebles, fue incre铆ble tenerlas a mi disposici贸n. Desde los maravillosos profesores, las infinitas oportunidades, y las instalaciones de primera clase, MSU prepare el camino para mi sue帽o de convertirme en un dise帽ador de muebles. He tenido la oportunidad de trabajar para marcas notables como Crate & Barrel y Article despu茅s de graduarme. Estoy muy agradecida por todo lo que MSU ID ha hecho por m铆.鈥�
