The Graduate School of Design is first and foremost about people. Our extraordinary faculty offers an unparalleled range of design philosophies and visions; and students represent a range of experience, with backgrounds from political science and art history to computer sciences and planning, and, of course, design. The School's perspective is global, as reflected in the international make-up and diversity of the entire community.

Diversity is important at the GSD.

In the fall of 2008, Dean Mohsen Mostafavi established the Dean's Diversity Initiative, with the goal of increasing the number of underrepresented minorities within the GSD faculty, staff, and student body. Read more about the initiative here .
