Preparing for success in a complex and changing world.

Whole Systems Designers are creative and innovative professionals able to work with large-scale, multi-dimensional systems. They operate with high ethical and aesthetic values grounded in practical and responsible action.

Professionals skilled in whole systems design focus on the processes that create and redefine how skills are applied, not on narrow skills and techniques. Being able to work creatively in this way can be transferred across all settings. Technical skills alone can become outdated or limited to a narrow field of application. A whole systems design education is education that transcends many disciplines.

Antioch Seattle's Whole Systems Design Program is recognized nationally and internationally for its unique structure. The program's degree process mirrors the design process as a whole, which is again mirrored in each student's work. It is a whole systems design for learning, reflecting the principles of the program put into practice. In this way, theory and practice are integrated and process is harmonious with content.
