Dreaming of creating the next Whopper Freakout? Creatives in search of grad schools have a new place to check out.
The New York Times reports that MDC Partners in Toronto (parent company of Crispin, Porter and Kirschenbaum & Bond, among others) is creating a school called Boulder Digital Works, jointly with the University of Colorado, Boulder. The school’s formation is to be formally announced on Thursday US time.
The Times continues: “The school, part of the University of Colorado extension division, is being located in Boulder because Crispin Porter has one of its two headquarters there. (The other is in Miami.) MDC is pledging to make an initial investment described as more than six figures to start the school.”
Boulder Digital Works will initially offer a 60-week certificate program in digital arts and sciences. The program will begin in the fall; applications are due by Aug. 15. The school also plans to offer, starting late July, executive programs in “digital fluency” for working professionals, which are to run 36 hours.
