SOUTHFIELD, Mich., July 28, 2025—Lawrence Technological University has introduced a new Master of Design and Technology (MADT) degree to widen the path of technology-based fields like game, graphic, interior, and product design. This hybrid master’s degree blends creativity with technological innovation.

The Master of Arts in Design and Technology is a one-year, 30-credit graduate program that integrates technology with advanced design practices. Students explore methodologies, research-driven processes, and hands-on studio work to create innovative, impactful projects in areas such as graphic design, game design, interior design, product design, and architecture. This program prepares designers to lead at the intersection of creativity and technology, advancing their expertise to address complex challenges in their fields.

The program is designed for recent graduates and professionals, and includes a streamlined 4+1 pathway for LTU undergraduates. The program features a flexible hybrid learning format that combines in-person studio work with online components to accommodate diverse learning needs and professional schedules.

“This is a unique opportunity to advance in a variety of in-demand design professions like gaming, graphic, interior, and product design,” said Lilian Crum, interim dean of the LTU College of Architecture and Design.

Enrollment is now open for an August 2025 program start at www.ltu.edu. For more information about the degree program, visit https://ltu.edu/programs/design-and-technology/.
