Self Chosen Post #5- Experience Design- Parsons

After listening to Amy Carney (Teague) speak to  us in class, I realized that literally everything is designed. Everything including our education. Our course, Design and Management, in particular is designed very intricately. Parsons is the only university in the world that has melded design and business into a single program. The way the program has been designed allows students to gain an understanding on design as well as business. This means that students who are better acquainted with one of the fields have an opportunity to harvest their knowledge in the other field. There is plenty of exposure to various types of design, which is balanced out with an even amount mathematical and business knowledge.
The course is designed to allow students to explore both fields, design as well as business. This duel-knowledge gives students a bit of leeway when it comes to choosing a career path. The knowledge of a Design ad Management graduate is diverse and  more importantly, flexible. The course is designed to provide a design portion, which requires students to think creatively, and a mathematical/business portion which requires students to think logically and theoretically. This shows how well rounded the course is ,which can be credited to its design.
The experience provided to the students, because of the way the course is designed, is rich in  information and variety of knowledge.
