SDM will begin offering two separate courses for master students enrolled in the 2012 academic year or later. The courses are designed to respond to diverse needs of students who wish to partake of the cutting-edge education offered at SDM in different ways.
(1) Research-Intensive Course
The Research-Intensive Course is so named as it puts somewhat greater emphasis on research rather than course work, as shown in the graphic below. It is suitable for new graduates as well as professionals who seek to gain research experience. Students are recommended to learn core subjects and undertake the Design Project ALPS (Active Learning Project Sequence) in the first year, as well as various major subjects along with a Research on System Design and Management in the first and second years.
