The Fashion Product Development MFA focuses on developing and managing all aspects of the fashion product development process. Emphasis will be placed on aesthetics, design, and product development strategies specific to companies and their target markets.

Students will learn drawing, design, construction, technical, and industry-standard software skills. Students will apply all of these skills to create a culminating thesis project that includes a complete product line and an implementation strategy. MFA Graduates will be capable of launching a new product line and applying high-level strategic thinking to hold key positions in global fashion organizations.

The MA in Sound Design provides students with focused studio training in sound design, digital audio workstations, and industry standard practices in creating sonic worlds for visual media.

The MFA in Sound Design is designed to provide the highest level of training in sound design for film, television, games, and other visual media. Students will gain a complete overview of the audio post-production process, recording and editing dialog, sound effects, and ambiance to create a sonic landscape that supports and informs the narrative, from initial recording to final mix. MFA students will complete a thesis project and portfolio in their final year and graduate with a working knowledge of professional workflows to prepare them for success in the soundtrack industry.
