Over the past 20 years the DesignIntelligence Schools Survey Program has evolved in pursuit of highlighting excellence in design education and optimization for industry relevance. We continue to evaluate so that this program provides the greatest benefit for all.

The surveys for 2022 have been simplified to make participation easier for all – schools, professionals, and students. We believe that deep participation is imperative in delivering our annual ratings.

The highlights of this year’s program include:

• Architecture, Interior Design, and Landscape Architecture Programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels will continue to be included.
• DI will continue to ask professionals for the “Most Hired From” programs.
• DI will continue to ask professionals about the preparedness of new hires/recent graduates.
• DI will continue to ask students/recent graduates about the perceived quality of their design education.
• A list of the “Most Admired Educators” will be compiled and published.
• The results will be published to a new website.

As in the past, we will be asking for your help in distributing the DI surveys to three key groups: professionals with hiring/supervising responsibility, deans/department chairs, and students.
