Mass College of Art, Name Change

Better start changing the stationery. And get that website fixed. Because the Massachusetts College of Art is now... (drumroll, please)... the Massachusetts College of Art + Design.

That's the word we just got from Governor Deval Patrick's office:

"...With 22 concentrations in a wide array of disciplines – including fashion design, industrial design, architecture, and graphic design, among others – MassArt prepares its graduates for distinctive and innovative achievement and plays a key role in attracting talented people to the region and strengthening the New England economy. The addition of “Design” to the college’s formal title reflects more accurately its full range of programs and considerable impact on the region’s creative industries."
