The School of Interiors offers a post-professional Master of Arts program focused on Interiors: Planning/Strategy/Design. Through a blend of coursework, self-directed learning, and research, students craft personalized study paths aligned with their professional goals. The curriculum encourages cross-disciplinary design perspectives by incorporating courses from various fields. Students employ scholarly research and innovative methods to explore specialized design areas through investigative processes. With guidance from an advisory committee, each candidate chooses between a written thesis or design project, complemented by advanced-level courses (500-700 series). Typically, students holding bachelor's degrees in interior design or related fields complete the program within two years. Those without professional design backgrounds may need to complete additional foundational coursework.
