The future reimagined through service design
Service designers are changing the world, bringing innovation and a human-centered approach to health care, transportation, education and retail. SCAD was the first university in the U.S. to offer both B.F.A. and M.F.A. degrees in this burgeoning field, and you can join the legacy of innovation that thrives here. First, take advantage of small classes with faculty who are also practicing professionals, opportunities to work with leading organizations and collaboration with creative peers — then create the design solutions of tomorrow.
What’s a Master of Business Innovation?
A Master of Business Innovation degree is distinct from a Master of Business Administration. Unlike the broad overview of business disciplines provided by an M.B.A., the M.B.I. curriculum is tailored to equip students with skills to navigate and thrive in a dynamic business environment, including the ability to anticipate market trends, seize opportunities, and pivot strategies to maintain competitiveness.
An M.B.I. is unique in its dedicated focus on:
- Innovative thinking
- Strategic execution
- Creativity
- Design thinking
- Transforming concepts into practical solutions

Creative collaborations
SCAD emphasizes collaboration between departments through opportunities like the SCADpad® micro-housing project. SCADpad combined students from 12 different fields to reimagine the spaces in which we live. The project earned global media attention as well as the World Architecture News Urban Design Award for its innovations.

Service design is an ever-evolving field. In order to thrive in such an industry, many students choose to pursue a double major or related minor while they are here.
