Learn theories and practical tools for imagining, making and sharing futures, and apply this knowledge through collaborative projects across multiple media with real-world clients to inspire positive change. The MS program in futures and design combines future-focused theories and practices, including speculative design, science fiction and foresight studies, to investigate and craft alternative futures. Students learn a range of future-oriented theories and methods used today by organizations --- and invent the theories and methods of tomorrow. Students explore a variety of epistemological perspectives and experiential processes to systematically define complex problems and explore robust strategies of change. In doing so, they diversify their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.Drawing from social theory, innovation studies and design science, the program develops students' capacity to envision new futures across scales of complexity, including objects, platforms, services, organizations and systems. Students work in transdisciplinary teams with real-world partners from industry and the community to produce compelling visions of that future in diverse media.The Master of Science in futures and design is offered by the transdisciplinary School for the Future of Innovation in Society.
