Miami College of Design was created to support the future leaders in design and innovation. Our students interact with design principles in concert with the natural sciences, material sciences, computing, communications, and structural engineering.
Our mission is to prepare students to assume positions of influence and global leadership in industry and to be instrumental in the creation of the next generation of strategic, innovative, and entrepreneurial businesses.
Our objective is to create a learning environment in which students work side-by-side with leading-edge designers, immersed in professional practice, to create disruptions and, consequently, opportunities for innovation.
We seek to advance the integration of design, science, and engineering, exploring new approaches and solutions through experience design. We value active learning, exploration, creativity, breakthrough innovation, and the use of technology and applied design, all of which serve to advance the quality of the human experience.
In today's competitive landscape, where high-technology businesses are becoming the common paradigm, innovation is crucial. To nurture talent, we must create learning environments in which there is creative tension between a shared vision (stability) and open-ended risk taking (instability). From these environments, top students will emerge who can innovate from chaos.
These students will generate long-term value through the development of distinctive products; they will be instrumental in the creation of the next generation of strategic businesses as they contribute with disruptive, breakthrough innovation leadership.
Graduates of the college will have strong skills in applying theory to the creation of new product development. Hands-on courses focused on industrial design provide many opportunities. The program combines expertise in the foundations of design and technical expertise. This is central to best practices of the application, development, and use of technologies throughout an industrial designer’s lifetime. Graduates will generate long-term value through the development of distinctive products; they will be instrumental in the creation of the next generation of strategic businesses as they contribute with disruptive, breakthrough innovative leadership.
Graduates will be prepared to seek entry-level employment in careers as industrial designers, product designers, creative directors, and user-interface, and user-experience designers. These positions are typically found in the Industrial Design industry as well as in the product-development divisions of the manufacturing and services industries.
