The Bexley Area Chamber of Commerce and Columbus College of Art & Design (CCAD) have formed a new partnership to award chamber members discounts on tuition costs for chamber members and their employees. 

Savings and benefits for graduate programs entail a Master of Professional Studies (MPS) degree offered at $5,100 per calendar year with guaranteed scholarship. Employees can utilize employer education/tuition benefits in addition to their scholarships. Additional financial aid opportunities are also available. 

The programs included in this benefit are the MPS in User Experience(UX) Design and MPS in Retail Design. The MPS in UX Design at CCAD offers a unique blend of creativity and strategic thinking, preparing students for dynamic user experience roles in workplaces like government/non-profit, education, healthcare, small/large corporations, and design agencies. The curriculum focuses on human-centered design, empowering students to find creative solutions to a broad range of human problems. The MPS in UX Design is designed to fit in with your schedule, with classes taking place completely online on weekday evenings. The 30-credit hour program is offered part time; students will complete their master’s degree in two years, but the program is spread over three calendar years to maximize your education benefits. 

CCAD is actively accepting students into the MPS in UX Design program for the fall 2024 semester, and applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. The MPS in Retail Design program will accept applications for the fall 2025 cohort later this year. Apply here if you’re ready to earn your master’s in UX Design or Retail Design with minimal out-of-pocket costs. Still have questions? Please email gradadmissions@ccad.edu.
