Is this all (both threads) really just a question of "this point in history"? Would I hire an Industrial Designer who doesn't have a degree in ID?
Isn't the expectation if hiring a junior graphic designer that they have a degree in visual design? I have always found it interesting that in the UX world we tend to focus on the masters level with very little done at the Bachelor's level. My question to SVA & CMU & KU is why are there no bachelor of IxD programs next to you MA programs? I totally respect the masters I've met who have no formal education. But I don't see that path as strategicly viable for the total advancement of the discipline or the profession. I do think that one can achieve greatness in practice without going to school. What education teaches you though which I believe no one spoke about is how to think & how to teach. education lastly gives you wings to inderstand the impractical. Learning failure as part if a process & expressions just for you. Imagine IxD practice 50 years from now. Will anyone practicing IxD not have at least a bachelors in IxD? - dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
