“What excites me about this program is that it meets students where they are without asking them to step away from the careers they are building. The fully online format supports students as they balance career, education, and life while developing the deeper project leadership capacity that a full master’s degree can provide.

DI’s MPM goes beyond technical exposure. It develops strategic thinkers who can lead across design, construction, technology, and the built environment — professionals who bring not just the right tools, but the judgment, accountability, and collaboration skills that complex projects demand.”

DI Faculty member Maryam Abhari has been instrumental in the development of DI's Master of Project Management Program. Hear from her along with DI's Chief Academic Officer and Director of Graduate Programs during the informational webinar on June 23rd. This session will introduce the program and provide additional information on its relevance in today’s climate with the emergence of AI and continuously evolving technologies.

BFA student Sean Enke walks us through his journey that ultimately led him to design. Sean, like many DI students, started his career in a non-design related field. After some time and a desire to lean into creativity, he has began pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design.
