How Would a Graduate Program in Systems Design Help
Generate New Possibilities for Change?
 The Whole Systems Design program helps you to become a designer and leader of deep systemic change. It emphasizes relationships between personal, community, organizational, economic, social and ecological issues. You understand these issues from a systems perspective and focus on preferred sustainable futures as a way of transcending constraints.
An M.A. in Whole Systems Design primes you to go beyond narrow problem definitions and the status quo. You approach situations in terms of their contexts, interrelationships and dynamics. Then, you imagine and create new possibilities and work with others to design integrated approaches to problem solving.
The M.A. in Whole Systems Design is one of the graduate degrees offered by the Center for Creative Change.
Maybe you're searching for a way to find out if graduate school is what you'd like to pursue. Perhaps you have a bachelor's or master's degree and want to hone your leadership skills and do some serious networking. Consider a graduate-level certificate in systems thinking and design.
Chris Fontana, 1998 Whole Systems Design graduate and Global Visionaries founder, is the 2007 Antioch University Seattle Distinguished Alumnus.

The Whole Systems Design program participates in the Designers Accord, a global coalition of designers, educators, researchers, engineers and corporate leaders, working together to create positive environmental and social impact.
