Now a one-year program with student funding, the Design Research, Writing & Criticism MA program at NYC’s School of Visual Arts empowers professionals as researchers, writers and—above all—critical thinkers.
“Will I get a job with this degree?” It’s a question that would-be students around the world are having to engage with far more seriously these days. In a climate where graduates can often find themselves “under qualified” when entering a lopsided jobs market, the number of institutions and programs that can confidently point to proven track records are on the decline.
One institution determined to buck that trend with a seriously impressive line-up of graduates in coveted positions is the School of Visual Arts in NYC. SVA’s renowned “DCrit” course first appeared on my radar in 2012 when the person who gave me my first ever internship in the world of publishing, Vera Sacchetti, then web editor of Domus, told me about her time there.
