About

The Department of Design at San José State University is one of the top design programs in California and the best value in design education. Our mission is to shape the next generation of social, political, and environmental innovators by taking full advantage of our proximity to Silicon Valley, the global center of high technology, innovation, venture capital, and social media. We are a community of creative technologists, who are teaching and learning technological skills that are inclusive and adaptive, poetic, cutting edge, and experimental. We understand that design is everywhere and is transformative throughout the world. We use our skills and knowledge to make our world safer, healthier, more equitable, and to create positive change.
