We teach design innovators to apply a human-centered approach to problem-solving and expand the research frontiers of design. Our programs feature hands-on, interdisciplinary projects that solve real problems for real people.
Segal Design Institute is housed within the Robert R. McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Northwestern University.

Our mission at the Segal Design Institute is to educate the next generation of synthetic thinkers and leaders — people who are able to move across domains and industries, identify convergences, and create impact through the lens of human-centered design. These thinkers are not generalists, but specialists of a different sort. They take a unified approach to solving problems, drawing on skills from engineering, social sciences, design, and management theory.
