The B.S. in Design, Innovation, and Society at Rensselaer provides creative, socially conscious students with a broad education in design. This is not your typical design program. The B.S. in Design, Innovation, and Society (DIS) is a unique liberal arts-focused and studio-based design program:<br><br>Design studios are complemented by a sequence of humanities and social sciences courses, which explore the social, environmental, political, legal, and cultural dimensions of design and technology in modern life.<br>Through the integration of social and humanistic inquiry into a creative and technical studio-based curriculum, students learn how to use design to address real-world problems. <br>By examining the intersections among science, technology, design, and society, students develop a unique, well-rounded skill set in design work and critical thinking. DIS design experiences range over a breadth of problems from larger, systemic problems to smaller, focused problems. DIS provides all of the elements necessary to put students' creativity to work as leaders of design and innovation to address big social and environmental challenges with creative approaches.
