As of this morning, DMBA program has officially received 60 applications so far! Given that we're only looking for 25-30 total for the program it looks, after less than 5 months, we've already found enough fantastic students to have a full program in the program's first year. Of course, we don't yet know how many are qualified but, based on the students I've interviewed over the phone and in person over the past months, I'm very confidently that we have some awesome students in this first cohort. We'll start the process of reviewing these applications and will be making the first acceptances in mid-February.
I think this is also more indication that these issues are resonating with people and that the time is right to be seriously addressing how design and business can better create change in the world, together.
