The MS in Health Communication Design Program's mission is to create a healthier world through clear, accessible and actionable communication design strategies.

Complete a single certificate, or, in only one year, complete two certificates plus a capstone project to earn the full MS in Health Communication Design.

Health Communication Design is for visionary individuals driven by a passion to address critical and complex health communication design issues for people, communities, healthcare providers and policymakers.

Through a series of themed, stackable certificates, delivered in a low-residency model, the MS in Health Communication Design equips students with theory and practice-based design skills to create health-related change that improves the human condition. The program employs a process informed by user-centered research, empathy, and a transdisciplinary, collaborative, multi-modal approach.
