  • Curriculum

    This 18-month, 36-credit program has an innovative curriculum that combines business, leadership, and leadership coursework with design-centered studio work. The studio courses are two week-long studios in which students integrate what they have learned in the seminars to develop new business models and organizational designs for real-world business scenarios.

    Students have the opportunity to start every course with weekend intensives held on the Parsons Paris campus, followed by immersive virtual learning. Furthermore, the program includes two week-long residencies in NYC and in Asia, in which students work on real company issues in integrative design studios.
