家具设计研究生课程具有高度的实验性和个性化，它通过家具和相关对象的概念，设计和构造来支持每个学生的艺术发展和对个性化设计哲学的阐述。所产生的作品从一种物体到有限或批量生产的设计，再到实验性的，基于概念的项目。美学考虑以及流畅地使用材料和工艺来支持单个设计概念至关重要。有效地使用二维和三维概念开发技能的组合来完成用于家具和相关对象的全尺寸人体模型原型，通过视觉，书面和口头方式进行评论和交流上下文，概念和技术内容，交流特定设计详细说明以允许其他人制造，将设计概念和物理原型与定义的上下文相关联，并对家具设计学科
Highly experimental and individualized, the MFA in Furniture Design supports each student's artistic development and articulation of an individual design philosophy through the conception, design and construction of furniture and related objects. The work you produce may range from one-of-a-kind objects to designs for limited or mass production and experimental, conceptually based projects. Aesthetic considerations are paramount, in conjunction with a fluent use of materials and processes to support individual design concepts. During the first year of the two-year program, students are exposed to a variety of conceptual approaches to furniture and encouraged to expand their thinking, redefining functional and aesthetic considerations through design, material and making investigations. The curriculum challenges students to question their perception of furniture design, examine the changing role of objects in relation to culture and prompt inquiry into their own design philosophy and contribution to the field. The second year is focused on developing a thesis body of work.
