MSE in Integrated Product Design

submit an unofficial transcript from each university or college where you earned course credit. Your transcripts must be in English. If your original transcript is not in English, we encourage you to use a transcript evaluation and translation service such as Educational Perspectives.

Two (2) official letters of recommendation (one should be from a faculty member who is familiar with the candidate’s scholarly abilities)

Personal statement of research and professional interests (2 page limit). IPD applicants are encouraged to write a personal statement that addresses both of the questions below, or submit a statement of their own design. Why are you applying to IPD? Why is it the right choice for you right now? What do you believe you can achieve with us personally or professionally that you can’t anywhere else in the world?

Applicants to the Integrated Product Design program must submit a visual portfolio of their work. The goal of the portfolio is to demonstrate your ability to think conceptually and analytically, showcase your ability to tell a story visually, and tell us about your work. We’re also very interested in your work process — how you do the work and why you made the decisions that you made.

We look at your resume to learn about your job skills, the depth of your professional experience, your leadership experience and more.
