Continued emergence of new masters programs from the tradition industrial design area: service design, experience design, systems design, Etc. Thoughts on the post-disciplinarity landscape: Digital technologies lowering barriers Blurring traditional disciplinary outputs Disciplinary specificity fading Programs identified by design approach rather than outputs. On the horizon: Hybrid education-incubation models Future
