The Johns Hopkins Carey Business School and the Maryland Institute College of Art will partner to launch the MBA/MA in Design Leadership, focusing on the integration of creative thinking into all aspects of organizational management and development.
In addition to providing the knowledge and skills traditionally associated with an MBA curriculum, this full-time, dual-degree program will seek to prepare graduates to assume roles as transformative leaders. The program, which is in development for 2012, is the only one in the country in which students can simultaneously earn graduate degrees from both a business school at a major research university and a major college of art and design.
“This dual-degree program presents an exciting and novel opportunity to develop a new generation of design leaders with the knowledge, skills and talents that will enable them to have impact across multiple disciplines and domains,” said William W. Agresti, professor and associate dean for professional programs at the Carey Business School.
“It will build the management and innovation capacity of designers, engineers and budding entrepreneurs while instilling the confidence that comes from a solid understanding of the core business disciplines,” Agresti said. “It’s difficult to imagine a timelier program, given the tremendous need for innovation, collaboration and leadership for advancing organizations and society.”
