What stood out about the program? After extensive research I felt the MUDD Program offered the most interesting and thoughtful courses as well as the best teaching resources. The program was challenging and very rewarding. The highlight for me was the MUDD exhibition night. It was a wonderful feeling to see our work beautifully displayed and viewed by so many industry professionals outside the faculty.
