2. MILAN
SAN DIEGO
The Domus Academy School of Design at
NewSchool offers undergraduate degrees like
no other: an immersive, hands-on experience
in European and American design. You’ll
learn the Italian design approach in Milan,
the world capital of design. And in San Diego,
California, you’ll examine the influence of
contemporary design on technology, lifestyle,
and sustainability.
The Domus Academy School of Design at
NewSchool is a unique partnership between
NewSchool of Architecture & Design in San
Diego and Domus Academy in Milan. It’s a
collaboration that brings together Old World
and New World design methodologies into
exciting, innovative Bachelor of Interior
Architecture & Design and Bachelor of Arts in
Product Design.
You’ll spend two years in Italy and two years in
the United States. In both locations, you’ll take
courses taught by industry experts to build
your theoretical foundation. In workshops,
you’ll apply your classroom knowledge as you
create actual projects with real companies.
Internships will give you an inside perspective
on how your field really works. Upon
completion of the degree program, you will
earn a degree from NewSchool of Architecture
& Design, a WSCUC *- accredited institution,
and a diploma from Domus Academy in Milan.
So much more than a typical bachelor’s
degree, this truly global experience will
open more doors—to your own creativity, to
career possibilities, and to the world. It will
give you firsthand knowledge of two design
cultures and expand your contacts within the
international marketplace. So you can prepare

industry. You’ll have opportunities to meet
