Master of Integrated Innovation for Products & Services (MII-PS)

MII-PS is a one-year professional degree in innovation and design thinking that takes advantage of Carnegie Mellon University's rich history in design, engineering and pioneering work in the field of integrated product development.

The focus of the MII-PS degree is on the creation of products, services and interactive experiences that define new product opportunities that exceed user value expectations. The program excels at providing engineers, designers and those in related fields with the skills and knowledge to become more accomplished practitioners and leaders of the product development process.

Jointly offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the School of Design, and the Tepper School of Business, all of which are leaders in their field, the MII-PS program immerses students in a truly interdisciplinary environment, at both the program and university level. Access to the university's seven world-class schools and colleges help students tailor their MII-PS experience to meet their unique personal and professional goals.
