  • Design for Social Impact

What is Design for Social Impact

Design for Social Impact equips students to be agents of change through “people first” design thinking. It will engage students in private, civic, and community partnerships to create solutions to persistent social problems. It is a holistic approach to the design of systems, places, and spaces. It prepares and empowers students to listen, connect and then create.

“People first” design can do any or all these things: animate public and private spaces, rejuvenate structures and streetscapes, improve local business viability and public safety, protect and restore environment… all of which brings diverse people together to celebrate, inspire, and be inspired.

You choose. Indiana Wesleyan University is now proud to offer both a Bachelor or Arts or a more rigorous Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in the Design for Social Impact program. 

Faculty

At Indiana Wesleyan University, our Fine Art program is designed to offer a Christ-centered approach to improving your craft as an artist.
