Master of Interior Design

The Master of Interior Design combines theory, professional issues and current technology to provide a program aimed at people who are interested in expanding or updating their knowledge of the field. The program has two tracks. The 37 credit hour curriculum is for people with undergraduate degrees in Interior Design or Interior Architecture. A 4 +  track is available to people who hold at least a bachelor’s degree in another discipline and who would like to change careers. This 84 credit hour curriculum combines the content of the undergraduate professional courses with the graduate courses to also result in a Master of Interior Design.

The program has a core in research, theory, issues, and design application and allows for independent exploration of topics. The final course in the program is the Master Class that brings a significant practitioner to the school to lead a studio.
