As a full-time working professional, I was so grateful that LIM's MPS degree had courses that worked with my traditional 9-to-5 schedule. I wouldn't be in my position at one of the world's most prestigious newspapers, without the advocacy from LIM…and if it weren't for all the resources LIM offered me.

  • Content Director - North America, The Financial Times
I'd like to reach the executive level, and LIM has helped make that goal a realistic one. Part of the reason I was offered a position with New York & Co. is because I was able to have meaningful conversations about everything from visual merchandising strategies and product development life cycles to sustainability and differences in generational cohorts—that was a direct result of what I learned at LIM.

Classes at LIM were incredibly focused on real-world application. It prepared me for the work I do today, where clients expect a high level of marketing acumen to back up design decisions.
