Masters of Arts in Interior Design
If you are interested in expanding your knowledge of the issues confronting the professional interior designer as well as learning the design and research skills required of the successful practitioner, and you already have a bachelor’s degree, the Master of Arts in Interior Design may be right for you. You may also supplement your coursework and gain exposure to international design trends and the European tradition of art, architecture, and culture through directed study in Italy and Spain.
The Master of Arts in Interior Design program has four professional tracks that students will select as an overall concentration.
These tracks include:
- Health Care/Institutional
- Commercial
- Hospitality/Retail
- Residential
This is a professional level program accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation consisting of a minimum of 30 credits of graduate study. The program is designed for those who have earned an undergraduate degree in a field not related to the visual arts (e.g., English, psychology, business, etc.) or who have earned an undergraduate degree in an area of the visual arts other than interior design (e.g., fine arts, graphic design, illustration, architecture, etc.). If you have not completed an undergraduate program of study substantially equivalent to the BFA in interior design, you will be required to complete additional foundational (undergraduate equivalent) coursework, as determined by the interior design program director. If you have already completed an undergraduate degree in interior design, such as a BA or BFA, you may also be admitted to the program, but your course of study will vary considerably from that outlined here and will be determined on an individual basis by the program director.
