Interior Architecture and Design
The MS in Interior Architecture & Design (MSIAD) program prepares students of diverse undergraduate backgrounds to become leaders in the field of interior design. MSIAD students come to the program with undergraduate degrees in a wide variety of non-design fields, and approximately 25 percent of the annual cohort are international students, all bringing rich experiences and enthusiasm to the discipline. Most students complete the MS in Interior Architecture & Design program in three years, depending upon individual student backgrounds and the completion of all necessary prerequisites.
As one of the few CIDA-accredited graduate programs in the country, MSIAD students are on the fast track to licensure and are highly prepared to enter the professional world of interior architecture and design. The program’s coursework teaches conceptual, technical, and hands-on approaches in designing a range of spaces. Academic work includes public, commercial, residential, and institutional projects in which students learn to transform environments to address aesthetic, social, physical, and psychological needs. In conjunction with an integrated studio approach, the MSIAD program emphasizes independent research culminating in a master's thesis.
