Jan, I think we can all list programs that we are excited about, but it is really unclear what you are looking for in a program, why the US, and we don't even really know what type of program you are looking for. I think saying, "IxD" is pretty vague as the philosophies of IxD vary greatly. I.e. I would have never included d.school @ stanford as an IxD program, but the Design Strategy MBA at CCA is most definitely one. (Winner of the IxDA student competition is from that program).
If I was picking a school, I'd have to include the European programs in Scandinavia, Holland and the UK for sure. When picking a program I think Dan Saffer put this back in a thread a couple of weeks ago and I'm paraphrasing: 1) Where were graduates hired? 2) Who are the alumni? 3) What corps have relationships with the school? 4) What does the school's portfolio look like? 5) Are there profs/faculty there you want to study with? Geography, might have some value, but for graduate study is mostly a distraction that you don't have time for anyway. ;-) -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
