THE BUSINESS OF INNOVATION
Our Programs
At the Academy, it’s not only what you know, it’s also how you think. Our students seek a different style of education that empowers the creative spirit and leads to unprecedented combinations of knowledge and skill and builds innovation capacity. Discarding any remnants of the traditional ‘one size fits all’ program, each Academy degree facilitates an individual’s ability to engage differently and successfully with a dramatically changing, tech-driven global marketplace, and to have a genuine positive impact on the world.
The Learning Experience
The world-unique Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees build on the Academy’s signature integrated learning framework that is focused on the intersection of human-centered design, technology, entrepreneurship, and communication. Students develop a powerfully agile mindset to analyze challenges, think across disciplinary boundaries, and synthesize diverse ideas to creative new technologies, ventures, and humane solutions for purpose-driven societal change.
Student Outcomes
The Academy’s rigorous and integrative academic framework, along with its strong emphasis on real-world professionalizing experiences, provides our students with the skills and abilities that are most relevant to 21st-century working environments.
